MINNEAPOLIS — Bumanat si Anthony Edwards ng 27 points para banderahan ang Minnesota Timberwolves sa 115-70 pagmasaker sa nagdedepensang Denver Nuggets sa Game Six at itabla sa 3-3 ang Western Conference semis series.
Magtutuos ang Timberwolves at Nuggets sa Game Seven bukas para sa conference finals berth kung saan ang mananalo ang sasagupa sa mananaig sa semis duel ng Dallas Mavericks at Oklahoma City Thunder.
Angat ang Mavericks sa Thunder, 3-2.
“Guys just believing in themselves,” sabi ng 22-anyos na si Edwards. “I think the last three games we were all down on ourselves.”
Nagdagdag si Jaden McDaniels ng 21 points, habang may 13 markers si Mike Conley.
“We talked a lot today just about getting our edge back, our swagger, playing a little more free and easy,” ani coach Chris Finch. “It just felt like we hadn’t had our best effort on both sides of the ball yet.”
Humakot sina Minnesota big men Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns at Naz Reid ng pinagsamang 38 rebounds bukod sa paglimita kay NBA MVP Nikola Jokic sa 22 points sa panig ng Denver.
Nalimitahan din si Nuggets star guard Jamal Murray sa 10 points mula sa masamang 4-for-18 field goal shooting.
Nag-ambag si Aaron Gordon ng 12 points.
Ipinoste ng Timberwolves ang largest winning margin sa isang postseason game sapul noong 2015 nang talunin ng Chicago Bulls ang Milwaukee Bucks ng 54 points sa isang first-round series clincher.
Kinuha ng Minnesota ang 31-14 abante sa first period patungo sa pagpoposte ng 50-point lead sa fourth quarter.
“That to me speaks volumes about the game and our approach,” wika ni Denver coach Mike Malone.
