Nikola scored 16 of his 35 points in the 4th quarter to lead Denver to the win.

Nikola Jokic notched 16 of his 35 points in the 4th quarter, and Aaron Gordon finished with 27 points on 11-for-12 shooting to lead the Denver Nuggets to a series-evening 115-107 triumph against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center in Minneapolis, MN, in Game 4 of the West Conference ½ finals.

Jamal Murray scored 12 of his 19 points in the 3rd quarter for Denver, and Minnesota only cut the deficit below double digits in the 2nd half for a short period of time.

Anthony Edwards notched 44 points in another brilliant display for the Timberwolves. But despite a 42-31 rebounding edge, Minnesota was defeated at their venue for the 2nd consecutive time by the defending NBA champs, who were playing phenomenally after losing the 1st 2 matches of the series in Denver.

The matchup returns to Denver for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Mike Conley scored 15 points, Karl-Anthony Towns only notched 13 points and grabbed 12 boards, and Rudy Gobert finished with 11 points and 14 boards. Despite that, Minnesota lost for the 2nd time in a row from Denver at Target Center.
