In a pivotal Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals, the Denver Nuggets triumphed over the Minnesota Timberwolves with a score of 115-107, evening the series at 2-2.

Jamal Murray added 19 points for the Nuggets, including 12 in the third quarter, building on the momentum from his buzzer-beating shot from half court in the previous game. Despite Anthony Edwards' remarkable 44-point effort for the Timberwolves, shooting 16 for 25 from the field, the Nuggets maintained control for most of the game.

The Timberwolves, despite a 42-31 rebounding advantage, struggled to match the Nuggets' intensity. Karl-Anthony Towns managed 13 points and 12 rebounds, while Mike Conley contributed 15 points. Rudy Gobert came alive late in the game, scoring 11 points and grabbing 14 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to secure a win for Minnesota.

The series now heads back to Denver for Game 5, with both teams locked in a fierce battle for a spot in the Western Conference Finals.

Gordon remained nearly perfect until late in the game, scoring his first miss with just 3:39 remaining. The Nuggets capitalized on opportunities throughout the game, including a crucial 8-point burst in the final seconds of the first half.

Despite the Wolves' efforts to regain their edge after a tough loss in Game 3, the Nuggets' balanced scoring and strong defense proved too much to handle. The Wolves struggled to convert open opportunities, with Towns missing his first seven shots of the game.

The Nuggets showcased their depth and shooting prowess, with key contributions from Justin Holiday, Christian Braun, and Reggie Jackson from beyond the arc. Their ability to execute on both ends of the floor was a significant factor in their victory, demonstrating why they are a formidable opponent in the postseason.
