In case you haven’t heard, the Denver Nuggets are leading the Minnesota Timberwolves 3-0 in the Western Conference Finals. Despite the fact that a comeback of such enormous dimensions would be unprecedented, their seasoned leader Mike Conley is unfazed by it and has stated publicly that they should not be written off.
You should know the number 154-0. That is the most points ever scored by an NBA team leading 3-0 in a playoff series. The Minnesota Timberwolves are the higher seed, but they seem determined to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Final, and Jason Kidd’s Dallas Mavericks are now in that position. Not so fast, argues Mike Conley. Thus far, the Western Conference Finals narratives have centered on Karl-Anthony Towns’s non-attendance and Anthony Edwards’s diminished appearance. Chris Finch’s side has lost all three games by a total of 13 points, despite these facts. That might be the source of motivation for Mike Conley.
Following the Wolves’ Game 3 defeat, Conley informed a group of reporters, including Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, to get ready because they were going to chronicle history. This was a clear indication that Minnesota was about to embark on a four-game winning streak.
