Welp.
The Minnesota Timberwolves’ 2022-23 season is all but over following a 120-111 Game 3 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Friday night in Downtown Minneapolis.
Despite finding offensive rhythm and a defensive blueprint to generate stops in the second half of Game 2, the Wolves weren’t able to translate to a pivotal Game 3 on their home floor in front of a whiteout arena full of fans that created an incredible atmosphere for playoff hoops.
