The Nuggets and Timberwolves made short work of their first-round opponents in the NBA playoffs, and now two of the top teams in the Western Conference will battle it out to earn a spot in the conference finals. The Timberwolves dominated the Suns, sweeping them 4-0, and the Nuggets handled LeBron James and the Lakers, winning their first-round series 4-1.
The Timberwolves vs. Nuggets series will begin in Denver on Saturday, May 4. The four days off comes at a great time for the Nuggets, as Jamal Murray played through a calf strain for most of the first-round series. The Timberwolves probably wished the series could start today, as they are 100% healthy and playing the best basketball of any team in the league.
