After losing three games in a row, the Timberwolves stood tall while facing elimination and destroyed the Nuggets 115-70.
In the contest, Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards went for 27 points, four rebounds, and four assists.
On the opposite side, Jokic went for 22 points with nine rebounds and two assists.
Jokic looked furious at the end of the game, and Stephen A. said it was his way of saying they Nuggets are coming back strong in game seven.
“He was standing up and he was just staring at them,” Stephen A. said.
“He had that look on his face like ‘I’m gonna get you b******s. I’m gonna get y’all.’
“It was one of those looks, you know what I’m saying? I obviously have Minnesota winning the series, but y’all know this.
“You know what that look is about, there’s certain things that you just see.
“It’s one thing to just be sitting on the bench, it was a bad night you know, ‘damn we getting it given to us and that’s fine.’
“But it’s another thing entirely when the superstar who is the best player in the world, who is a three-time league MVP, and happens to be the reigning, defending NBA champion is standing there staring at them.
“Not just looking at his own teammates, looking at Minnesota like ‘Imma get y’all, I’m not going away.'”
Minnesota looked to initially have a grip on the series, taking a 2-0 series lead after winning the first two games in Denver.
However, the Nuggets battled back, winning the next two games in Minnesota and then game five at home.
Game six went back to Minnesota, and the Timberwolves made a statement with their 115-70 win, forcing a game seven for a spot in the Western Conference Final.
