Is Murray likely to miss the next two games?

Atleast one, Jackson might miss both.

I don't wanna be that guy, but any chance they were able to do this because Gobert wasn't there?

I think it was simply they broke the Nuggets spirit right at the start

This is the best baby gift the team could give to Rudy!

Not just the win, but he helped establish this defensive culture, and they grew up and did it.

Yes. I heard some stats that if a team loses Game One, they are the overwhelming favorite historically to win Game Two, and usually by a large margin. Then, when they heard Gobert would be out, I don’t think they expected this kind of effort from the Wolves. Right out of the gate.

I'M IMPRESSED!!!

I also got to say that some of your players in Game 1 looked like they had the "deer in the headlights" look on offense in Game 1. Players Like Edwards who can tell lives for this type of spotlight helped the rest of the team snap out of it. But this Game 2, your guys are not nervous anymore. They are living it up.

You guys are going to be good for a long time and quite possibly win the whole thing this season. The only teams that truly stand in your way is OKC and Boston. And even if you guys come up short this year, the future is bright in Minnesota. This team is likely going to be in the Finals either this season or next.

Wow! Pithy comments from an outsider. Thanks Shem. It's nice to hear. Wolves are for real. It's hard for us to believe at times too.

We are for real.

Who cares about altitude?

We were missing a starter and we were still full court pressing in the 4th up 20+.

While Jokic looked gassed in the 2nd.

Défense is a team effort as we see it tonight no Rudy no issue he is just part of it. KAT was insane, very happy
For him. We even didn’t need ANT make anything special… this team is so good!

Unbelievable. I wasn't able to watch it live and had to blink thrice, pinch myself and slap myself in the face when I saw the score. What a Playoff run we're in. Wow.

We need him. Hope he will recover quickly.

03-04 was like a bunch of toddlers sucking their thumbs compared to this. This defense is what happens when the best defense in the league decides to turn it up a notch, and accidentally turns it up 3 notches into overdrive. Thank god we have 3 days off to recover, these guys are gonna be EXHAUSTED!!!!!! It is even more incredible that they are doing this a mile above sea level.

Winforlose, this is the best game I've ever seen from our Wolves! I've never seen defense like this from a Wolves team. This is so foreign to me. I'll take it. I'm thrilled!

We are deep and well coached. And to do this without Rudy is so amazing. It shows you how good we really are.

Even Kenny, Shaq, and Charles are impressed saying we win this in 4. I say 5 or less.

We are a formidable team for sure!!!!! Good enough to go all the way.

Defense like this is beyond all time wolves best. We are talking hall of fame best defense of all time.

Yep Morris has been not so hot. But do you have anything positive to say tonight? We were unbelievable. Weren't we?

I really think it was! Never have I seen a complete game like this on the road when we really needed it. Amazing. Go Wolves.

Incredible win. I can only imagine what's in store once they are playing at home and Rudy is back. Especially with the confidence the team has. Almost feel bad for poor Denver.

Jokic came up with the only plan that could possibly beat the Wolves. He needs to clone himself
