On May 20, Beijing time, the Timberwolves reversed the Denver Nuggets by 98-90 to advance to the western showdown by 4-3 points.

Downes is 2 in this section, 1 in 3 points, 2 in free throws, 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 block. At half time, Downes also gets 13 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assists, 1 steals and 1 block.
