- The Minnesota Timberwolves put on yet another defensive clinic, returning to the same form they displayed in their first two wins in the series as they dominated the Denver Nuggets, forcing a Game 7. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the Wolves' ever-evolving strategy against three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, and why what they did in this game was so effective. Also, Anthony Edwards shut down Jamal Murray and the Wolves' role players completely outclassed the Nuggets' ancillary players. What can we expect in Game 7 on Sunday?

Ben Beecken huh checking in from the locked on Mavs good luck we will be showing up
Go Minnesota Timberwolves 💪
congrats on the win. see you fuckers in Dallas!!!! #MFFL
Twolves fans are 🔥💯
Next game will be decided if the refs let mn play defense or not
Even tho I think the wolves we’ll fight through it they have more hearts
JMcD is a problem for Murray, who is now health-compromised in a series where Denver quit in three games opting to extend the series. Jokic needs to - ironically - score and dominate Q1 like Shaq for denver shooters to wakeup
Ben talk about how you predicted the wolves to lose game 6 lmao. Gotta have faith.
I got what I wanted: money guys vs money guys. Not sure why it took til game 6. KAT did well against Jokic, but I'd like to see Rudy on him more and have KAT roam a little. That would be a good wrinkle for gm 7.
I habe a feeling oir season ends sunday sadly. I jear we getting same rwfs we had for game 3 and 4. Where minnesota wasnt alpwed to play defense because they kept calling fouls. And to do that during a game 7 is bullsht
It's rigged for Denver
KAT!! do you see what we mean? do you?
look at your stat line. only10 points......BUT!! BUT!!
13 rebounds, 5 assists, only 1 turnover, and only 3 fouls. AND WE WON BY 45 POINTS!!
you don't need to be a scorer every night, but you do need to contribute and this shows why.
scoring comes and goes with even the best. but rebounding, assisting, not turning it over, and staying on the court (no foul trouble) are things you SHOULD bring every game!!
we've been screaming at you for years, KAT. screaming for you to expand your game. to be a team player. to help others. to bring effort outside that of scoring. SCREAMING!!!
your non-scoring stats were phenomenal in this game. PHENOMENAL!! this is who you need to be........AND you played defense with purpose
GOOD GAME KAT. REDEFINE YOURSELF. take the me part out of team and you will succeed
i would disagree with the fact that he hasnt brought effort outside of scoring. He wasnt always great at other things, but KAT has always played hard
@@andyj952 charging into a crowd and getting a foul is not playing hard (he led the league - THE WHOLE LEAGUE, 2 years in a row on offensive fouls). That's playing stupid and lazy by not working for better position or giving up the ball. Celebrating after every made basket and lollygagging while not getting back on defense is not playing hard.
his transition defense is perhaps the worse in the league. it's been that way for 9 years. this is the first year he's made any attempt to get back on defense. he's worse than DLo was. but, i am acknowledging that he's making progress - - - after 9 years it's about time.
running like a bull into traffic on the offensive end ISN'T effort.
slapping at the ball for silly fouls ISN'T effort.
admiring your shot rather than crashing the boards in case you miss ISN'T effort.
KAT's 60 point game is a prime example of what he wants.....THE BALL!!
AND WE LOST THAT GAME. but KAT was like a retriever with a duck in his mouth boasting about his INDIVIDUAL achievement
9 years. i expect a man making $1 million a week to give effort at both ends and play hard until the whistle blows.....
@@jerrystraka7856 not reading all that. Wolves in 7.
@@andyj952you probably should read it, it’s pretty spot on in responding to your remark. 🤷🏽♂️
@@andyj952 who says you have to?
years as a reporter brings out my attention to detail. habit. "seek truth,, be fair ".....
The Society of Professional Journalists motto.
you're entitled to read what you choose.
If KAT gets a combined 18 rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks - the Wolves win.
regardless of points. PLUS.... less than 2 turnovers and 3 or less fouls.
It would be nice if he's dropping 3's, but that's not a given.
The other stats are effort based
Scoring comes and goes.
