The Denver Nuggets scored 40 points, 13 assists and 7 rebounds in the fifth game against the Timberwolves when Jokic broke out madly, and made no mistakes. After becoming Paul in 2018, he is the second player in playoff history to score 40+10 assists and make no mistakes. In the end, the Nuggets won 112-97, and Huazi scored 5 out of 15 and 1 out of 5 out of 3, with only 18 points and 9 assists. At the final whistle, Jokic gave a high five to encourage the whole team, and Huazi directly "escaped" from the stadium.
Conley was absent due to injury, and the Timberwolves lost their main point guard. Although they held the score 26-28 in the first quarter, Edwards was in a low state. On the other side, Jokic was confused and scored 12 points and 4 assists in a single quarter.
In the second quarter, Gobel continued to be blasted by Jokic, and Huazi continued to be depressed. After half time, he shot 1 in 8, 3 in 3, and 2 in 3 free throws. He got 5 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 turnovers. Fortunately, Downes, another star of the Timberwolves, hit 5 in 10, hit 1 in 3 out of 3, got 11 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assists, 1 steals, made 1 mistake, and made 3 fouls to help the team seize the score.
However, Kyrgi, the third thrift, blew up the Timberwolves. He made 6 of 7 shots in a single quarter and got 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. The Denver Nuggets also opened a double-digit difference. At the end of the three quarters, they were 88-74 ahead.
Former Nuggets coach George Karl highly praised Jokic, "he is stronger than Shaquille O'Neal." If you can't defend Jokic, it will be difficult for the Timberwolves to win. In the fourth quarter, Jokic made a quick attack and dunked violently. The Nuggets led by as much as 18 points. The Timberwolves showed signs of collapse. Since then, Nuggets have had the last laugh.
