The Denver Nuggets headed into the halftime break with a 54-50 lead over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4 of their first-round series in the 2026 Western Conference Playoffs on Sunday (PH time) at Target Center.
Nikola Jokic led the way for Denver, racking up 14 points, 8 assists, and 5 rebounds. Jamal Murray added 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting for the Nuggets.
Ayo Dosunmu and Naz Reid provided some much-needed scoring off the bench for Minnesota, combining for 27 points.
Anthony Edwards struggled in the first half, scoring just 5 points on 1-for-8 shooting.
The Wolves suffered a huge blow early in the contest when Donte DiVincenzo injured his lower right leg. He has been ruled out of Game 4 after the non-contact injury.
