The game was a nail-biter from the start, with both teams exchanging leads. With the clock winding down, the Timberwolves found themselves trailing but executed a fast-paced offensive play that caught the Nuggets off guard. After a chaotic sequence, Westbrook’s failed layup left the Nuggets clinging to a slim one-point lead. Instead of extending the lead, his miss proved costly as it shifted the momentum in favor of Minnesota.
