Jaden McDaniels angers the Nuggets again with a late layup that triggers shoving from Jokic
- Following an uncontested layup with 1.3 seconds left in Game 4, Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic confronted Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels, sparking a skirmish that led to a 112-96 victory for Minnesota on Saturday.
- The Timberwolves hold a 3-1 series lead after McDaniels previously called Nuggets players "bad defenders" following a Game 2 win, a comment that intensified the rivalry between these frequent playoff opponents.
- Reserve guard Ayo Dosunmu fueled the comeback, finishing with 43 points after Starting guard Donte DiVincenzo tore his Achilles 79 seconds into the game and Anthony Edwards hyperextended his knee in the second quarter.
- Officials ejected Jokic and Julius Randle following the altercation, while the NBA will review the incident prior to Monday night's Game 5 in Denver to determine if any players illegally left the bench area.
- The Nuggets previously overcame a 3-1 series deficit in 2020, though the Timberwolves now hold the advantage with the next two games in Denver beginning Monday at Ball Arena.
