Denver Nuggets suffer a shocking first-round playoff exit as the shorthanded Minnesota Timberwolves—missing stars like Anthony Edwards—overwhelm Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Jaden McDaniels’ 32-point performance leads a resilient Minnesota team, while Rudy Gobert’s defense stifles Denver’s comeback hopes. Can Chris Finch’s squad carry this momentum into their Western Conference Finals clash with the formidable San Antonio Spurs?

 

Elsewhere, the Philadelphia 76ers force a dramatic Game 7 against the Boston Celtics behind Joel Embiid’s gritty play and Tyrese Maxey’s scoring surge. Meanwhile, the New York Knicks dismantle the Atlanta Hawks with a historic first-half blowout, fueled by OG Anunoby’s hot shooting. Rylan Stiles and David Ramil discuss Boston’s offensive struggles, New York’s playoff dominance, and what these upsets mean for the NBA postseason landscape. Which contender has the edge as the playoffs heat up?
