Why Draymond Green Believes Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Denver Nuggets Series Is Over

That hype carried through the first two games of their series against the Nikola Jokic-led Nuggets. During that stretch, Minnesota was able to defeat the defending champions twice in a row. That feat had everybody talking about how they can eliminate Denver and win the whole playoffs, mostly because of Edwards’ stellar performance.

The same can’t be said now after the Nuggets have won three straight games to come close to eliminating Minnesota. Thanks to Jokic’s MVP-worthy performance and other key pieces showing up for Games 3, 4, and 5, Denver has turned the narrative around when it comes to their case as title contenders.

Draymond Green Claims Minnesota Timberwolves’ Series Against Denver Nuggets is Over

Just several days ago, the entire NBA was already claiming Minnesota’s triumph in the series. Now, the tables have turned, as declared by Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green in a video shared by NBA on TNT’s official account:

Apart from Rudy Gobert’s lackluster defense on Jokic, Green pointed out the Wolves’ lack of belief in winning the whole thing. With this belief gone, it’s only a matter of time before they go home soon.

The Nuggets need only one more win to advance while Edwards and company need two more. For sure, the coming days is going to be interesting for both teams to see who will emerge as the best squad.
