Minnesota Timberwolves defense stifles the Denver Nuggets as the Wolves take a 2-0 series lead

The Minnesota Timberwolves held the defending champion Denver Nuggets to just 80 points in a shocking Game 2 blowout as the Wolves expanded their series lead to 2-0. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the stirring defensive performance, including an unbelievable performance on Jamal Murray on the perimeter and a solid job on Nikola Jokic -- all without Rudy Gobert. Also, the Wolves' offensive attack was balanced, with both Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns scoring 27 points and strong bench performances from Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
