The NBA playoffs are back in flames, and Game 5 between the Nuggets and the Timberwolves is like a showdown on a cliff. In this decisive battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Nuggets showed their tenacity and strength. In the second half, they swept like a storm, especially a wave of 8-0 offensive in the final quarter, which directly pushed the Timberwolves into the abyss. In the end, the Nuggets won the opponent with a score of 112-97, leading 3-2 and holding the match point.

Jokic, the heart of the Nuggets, has once again proven his dominance. He scored 40 points and excelled in rebounds and assists, with seven rebounds and 13 assists. Gordon, Murray and Pope also contributed their own to the team, with Pope particularly good from beyond the three-point line, hitting four of five shots and becoming an important firepower for the team.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves, although core players such as Towns, Gobert and Edwards have also played their own level, their overall strength is still insufficient compared to the Nuggets. In particular, Conley's absence has affected the Timberwolves on both offensive and defensive ends.

This victory was significant for the Nuggets, who not only managed to win the battle of Tianwang Mountain, but also held the match point in their hands and were just one step away from qualifying. The Timberwolves, on the other hand, need to quickly adjust their form in the next game to try to pull one back on the road and continue the suspense of the series.
