Nuggets vs. Timberwolves score, takeaways: Anthony Edwards, Wolves force Game 7 with 45-point blowout win
The Minnesota Timberwolves stayed alive in the 2024 NBA playoffs with a dominant 115-70 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night in Game 6 of their second-round series. The Wolves led by 17 at the end of the first quarter and never looked back as they forced Game 7 against the reigning champs in their first home win of the series. Their 45-point win was the second largest by any team facing elimination in NBA history.
Anthony Edwards had a game-high 27 points and was a plus-43 in 33 minutes — tied for the fifth-best mark for any player in the playoffs in since the 1996-97 season. Jaden McDaniels was an efficient 8 for 10 from the floor for 21 points.
Nikola Jokic had 22 points on 9-of-19 shooting and just two assists. The NBA MVP missed all four of his 3-point attempts. Denver shot an abysmal 30.2% from the floor and became the first team to score 70 or fewer points in the playoffs since the Grizzlies in 2016.
Scottie Schefler arrested
World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler was arrested and charged with a felony and other counts Friday morning outside the PGA Championship in Louisville, Kentucky, after allegedly injuring a police officer while trying to drive past the scene of a fatal crash.
Scheffler was charged with felony second-degree assault on a police officer, along with lesser charges of third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving and disregarding signals from officers directing traffic, according to Jefferson County court records.
He was then released from jail and returned to the Valhalla Golf Course for the second round of the tournament. Shortly after 10 a.m., he struck his first tee shot of the day, earning a round of applause from the crowd, and birdied the first hole.
