The Minnesota Timberwolves have advanced to the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2004 after a historic comeback victory over the Denver Nuggets in Game 7. The Timberwolves erased a 20-point third-quarter deficit to defeat the defending champions 98-90. This marks the largest comeback in Game 7 history since play-by-play tracking began in 1997. Minnesota outscored Denver 60-37 in the second half, with key performances from Karl-Anthony Towns (23 points, 12 rebounds), Anthony Edwards (16 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists), and Jaden McDaniels (23 points, 6 rebounds). The Timberwolves also became the first team to come back from a 15-point halftime deficit in a Game 7. The Timberwolves are now set to compete in the Western Conference Finals, a feat they last achieved two decades ago.
