However, the result weighed on the hearts of Timberwolves fans, as their team lost 107-115 at home to the Nuggets, resulting in a 2-2 overall tie between the two sides.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Nuggets showed strong competitiveness and kept fans watching the game.

After the game, netizens took to social media to express their opinions and comments.
Some netizens said: "The Nuggets' performance today is really strong, Jokic's all-round ability is amazing, and Gordon and Murray also played well." ”
Someone else sighed: "Edwards played so hard alone, but unfortunately the performance of his teammates couldn't keep up, I hope the next game can be improved." ”
However, some people think: "Although we lost this game, we still have to believe in the Timberwolves, they have the strength to turn the situation around." ”
On November 8, 2017, the Nuggets had a fierce battle with the Brooklyn Nets.
In this game, Jokic showed amazing individual ability and became the center of attention. Not only did he excel on the offensive end, but he also had excellent rebounds and assists.
Jokic's performance has caused a lot of buzz among fans. A fan wrote on social media: "Jokic is crazy today, 41 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists, he is simply a basketball genius!" ”
Another fan also said: "I was stunned to see Jokic's performance today! Such data is simply staggering! Some fans even shouted: "Jokic is the lifesaver for our Nuggets!" ”
The game also sparked some interesting conversations. A fan started a conversation in the circle of friends: "Jokic's performance is really jaw-dropping! Do you think he can continue to do this? ”
Immediately, friends left messages one after another, expressing their views and expectations. Some people think: "Jokic is the real MVP, he will be able to keep it up like this!" Someone else said: "I hope he can continue to work hard and bring more wins to the team!" ”
Commentator Duan Ran highly praised the Nuggets' performance in the post-game program, saying: "Jokic and other players played a perfect illustration of their strength today, and the Nuggets' bench players also played well and won a valuable victory for the team. ”
However, there were also commentators who criticized the Timberwolves. "The Timberwolves played too carelessly today and lacked the respect they deserved for the defending champions, which was one of the main reasons they lost," Xu said. ”
Commentator Xu Jingyu criticized the Timberwolves' performance in her post-game comments. He believes the team lost the game because they played too carelessly and lacked the respect they deserved for the defending champion Nuggets.
Xu Jingyu knows that a strong opponent needs to go all out, and the Timberwolves seem to lack that tension and respect for their opponents in the game.
As the defending champions, the Nuggets are not to be underestimated, but the Timberwolves don't seem to take them seriously, and this attitude has led to their underwhelming performance on the court.
At the same time, Xu Jingyu also pointed out the incompetence of the coaching staff in the game.
The coaching staff failed to effectively adjust their tactics or motivate the players at critical moments, especially for Edwards, a key player in the team.
As the core player of the team, Edwards' performance is directly related to the success or failure of the team, but the coaching staff has not given him enough support and guidance, which is one of the important reasons for the loss of the Timberwolves.
The outcome of this match had a profound impact on both sides. The Nuggets' victory not only gave them back their confidence to win, but more importantly, they drew with the Timberwolves in the overall score, adding more suspense to the next game.
They will be more confident heading into the next games and will be looking to win the game on the road and take the winning trend to their side.
And for the Timberwolves, the loss means they're in crisis. They have to adjust their form as soon as possible and regain their rhythm and confidence in the game.
With the upcoming next game to come, they will have to go all out to try to turn the tide again at home and salvage the game.
The outcome of this match will determine who will be the first match point in the series, so it is highly anticipated.
