Despite Anthony Edwards‘ 44-point game, the Denver Nuggets tied the series 2-2 with a 115-107 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4.
Nikola Jokic led the way with 35 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists, while Aaron Gordon added 27 points.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to the Nuggets tying the series and heading back home for a pivotal Game 5.
Nuggets went down 0-2 and instead of people being like, “How will the 3x MVP and reigning champs respond?” The conversation was, “Are they the most overrated champions ever???”
Can some of you please breathe more air.

“Never underestimate the heart of a champion. They were quick to write us off… This team has been tested time and time again and we found a way to solve whatever’s been thrown at us.” 🗣️

This series doesn’t start till someone wins a game at home.

People really thought the Nuggets were getting swept.

Five teams in NBA history have come back from 0-2 to win the series after losing the first two at home.
All five of those won games 3 and 4 on the road.
Nuggets right on track…

There were people on here saying that Jokic and the Nuggets were never actually good after game two

It’s a dang shame what Shaq said the other night. Joker should be a four-time MVP right now. What he’s done for the game of basketball is far, far greater than what Shaq did. And the kicker is the Joker isn’t done yet. Let’s go @nuggets #sorrynotsorry #someonehadtosayit 🤷🏽♂️

Jokic wasting a minute of game clock in the 4th quarter by purposely fumbling the ball around is all-time gamesmanship. https://t.co/LcyoqF6LDj

Nikola Jokic remains the funniest possible basketball star. The commentators in awe, like “this is what greatness looks like” and it’s a grunting serbian man standing pigeon-toed and heaving a ball into the basket like he’s baling hay

Anthony Edwards had 44 points, 5r, 5a. He played 45:20. The Wolves won those minutes by 5. They lost the 2:40 he sat by 13 points

Anthony Edwards: I don’t think they got any momentum. I mean, we won 2 games, they won 2 games. At this point, it’s whoever win 2 games. I’m happy, I’m ready. We’re competing at the highest level. I’m smiling about it because I’m happy, I’m ready to go play, if we play tomorrow,… pic.twitter.com/0yxoiOQe8j

I don’t think Anthony Edwards is the best player in the world but he’s definitely the coolest
