I don't know what it is with the Wolves and Nuggets, but that's 6 straight wins for the Wolves. Joker was ridiculous and I thought the Wolves were done when Gobert (who had 19 and 12) fouled out in regulation. Ant came alive in the 4th quarter with his own 8 pt run to bring the Wolves back from down 11. There were over 30 lead changes/ties in this game, and then it ended in the most improbable manner. Russell Westbrook got his hands on a ball in 2OT up 1 with 10 seconds left and ran the floor but missed a layup. Wolves don't call timeout and Ant drives and kicks to NAW in the corner who misses a 3-ball....but is fouled by Westbrook with .01 seconds in the game.

NAW calmly walks up to the line after a review and nails the first two FTs before intentionally missing the third one and the Wolves escape with the win.

Joker was just insane and didn't sit at all after halftime. Big man might not look like an Adonis but has to be in decent shape to run half his season in altitude like that. After the game Ant said that Joker might be the best player he's ever shared a court with so far in his career.
