Timberwolves, Towns
As soon as the game began, the Nuggets quickly got into the groove, and they quickly built up a lead thanks to the likes of Jokic and Gordon. Although the Timberwolves also played some wonderful offense, the Nuggets' defense was too tight, and they were never able to narrow the difference.

The league's best defense is paper-paste
