5 Takeaways From Denver's Hot-Shooting Game 4 Win
Regaining Home-Court Advantage
After losing the first two games of the series at home, the defending Denver Nuggets rebounded in Game 4 with a 115-107 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, regaining home-court advantage in the Western Conference semifinals.
Jokic's Consistent Dominance
Reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic continued to showcase his dominance, recording 30 points, 16 rebounds, and 7 assists. His all-around performance kept the Nuggets in control throughout the game.
Murray's Return to Form
Jamal Murray, who had been struggling in the playoffs, bounced back with a strong performance, scoring 24 points on 6-of-12 shooting. His contribution provided a much-needed boost to Denver's offense.
Red-Hot Shooting
The Nuggets shot an impressive 52.9% from the field and 46.2% from three-point range. Their balanced scoring attack, with six players scoring in double figures, proved too much for the Timberwolves to overcome.
Missed Free Throws Nearly Costly
