Round 1
The Wolves came out swinging in game 1, KG had 33 against the rival Denver Nuggets. While Carmelo Anthony has figured out how to get around thw Wolves lockdown defender Trenton Hassell, he still could not manage to lead his team to victory in game 1.
Score
Wolves-100
Nuggets-83
In game 2, It was once again Kevin Garnett dominating Kenyon Martin. He had 27 points, 13 rebounds, and 9 assists. He did that while holding K-Mart to only 9 points and 5 rebounds. But despite all that, the Nuggets won! The reson for that is other than KG, it seemed like no one else showed up to play. Steph had 12,Ricky Davis had 5, but Rashad McCants did pretty well. He had 16 off the bench. Carmelo Anthony was a monster in the game, hitting 15-20 from the field.
Score
Wolves-101
Nuggets-108
Now I'm going to skip games 3, 4, and five and go right to game 6. It was the closest game of the series. If you've looked at the bracket, you will see who came out victorious. But the way it ended is amazing.
In the first quarter, the Wolves made a good run to begin the game with the score at 12-0. George Karl then called a timeout to calm his guys down. The Nuggets seemed to have listened to Karl's words. They went on a 16-4 run. The score at the end of the first was Nuggets-23, Wolves-25.
On to quarter number two. Future stars of the NBA Rashad McCants and Marcus Banks took over in the second. Earl Boykins could for whatever reason get his shot to fall that night. A big part of it was due to Banks' dedication on defense. The play of the game happened in that quarter. 3 seconds left, they give it to Banks. Sprints to 28 foot range. Puts it up..... yes!! The Wolves take a 58-55 lead and the Nuggets crowd is silent!
Garnett knows that this isn't near over.
When the second half came around, the wolves looked sluggish and it seemed like they didn't care. This didn't sit well with Dwane Casey. All of a sudden, their lead had vanished and the Nuggets led 67-55. Then the Wolves turned it around and tied the game up. This had been quite a game. At the end of the third, the score was tied 77-77.
In the final quarter, Dwane Casey went with his best lineup to close out a game. Frye, KG, Ricky, McCants, and Steph. They decided that Trenton Hassell would only come in for McCants if Melo was shooting like the Vice President on a hunting trip. He shot a little, but not so much that it required Hassell to come back in. Any way we move on to the last minute. The score is. What else. Tied. 100-100. With the ball in Stephon Marbury's hands, he decided to call a pick and roll with KG. KG rolled, but Steph was wide open and took the shot. It was good. 30 seconds to go now and the Wolves lead by one. Nugget's possesion. They hold it. And Andre Miller hits a crazy fade away 2 pointer! Dwane Casey calls a timeout. They set up a play to KG. 15...14... Steph is waiting. 11....10....9... The play is being run 7...6...5... KG is double teamed, Rashad McCants is open for 3! Kicked out to McCants. 2...1.. Puts it up...... it's in!!!
Final Score
Wolves-106
Nuggets-104
The Wolves Win the Series 4-2!!
