Game Summary:
Minnesota started this game trailing as Denver hit the opening shot with Aaron Gordon. However, the Wolves would take the lead and build a sizeable advantage again early for the second game in a row. The Nuggets would catch up, but the Wolves were better able to fend them off this time, ending the 1st quarter with an 8 point lead.
For pretty much the rest of the game, it would be all Minnesota! It started with a great 2nd quarter for the pack, only allowing 15 points in the frame. They ended the half with a near 30 point lead. In the 3rd quarter, Denver clawed back slightly, but that only ended up with a 20 point lead for Minnesota. In the 4th quarter, Anthony Edwards arrived to the party and helped the Wolves to a 26 point victory!!
Keep in mind folks, this was without the potential Defensive Player of the Year! 

Injury Report
Center Rudy Gobert was not present in Denver for the Game 2 due to the birth of his first child, back in Minneapolis. Both baby and mother are doing well, and Rudy will be available for Game 3 in Minnesota.
Head Coach Chris Finch is still dealing with quite a bit of pain in his knee that he had surgically repaired earlier last week. He was on the bench again for Game 2.

Up Next
