It’s never just “another game” when the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets play basketball. These two teams have been circling each other like heavyweight rivals in a trilogy fight, except this script is actually good.
The rivalry truly kicked off back in 2023, when a beat-up Wolves team limped into that first-round series and got sent home by Denver like a freshman trying to beat the seniors in the parking lot. A year later? Minnesota walked back into Ball Arena, looked Jokic dead in the eyes, and pulled off a 20-point Game 7 comeback on his own floor. It was the kind of “your dynasty officially has PTSD now” moment that cities never emotionally recover from.
Last season didn’t give us a playoff rematch, but it gave us plenty of cinematic close-calls instead:• That night at Target Center when the Wolves erased a late double-digit deficit and broke Denver’s soul in front of a screaming crowd
• That double-overtime epic where Nickeil Alexander-Walker played the best game of his career and bailed Minnesota out like some glitch in the simulation
This is not a casual opponent. This is not a normal November game. This is a blood-sport viewing event.
And the NBA knows it, because they just shoved it behind the Peacock paywall.
Yes, this game is only availble for viewing on Peacock.
