Sharjah24: The Minnesota Timberwolves eliminated the Denver Nuggets and their Serbian star Nikola Jokić in the first round of the NBA playoffs. They set up a high-profile Western Conference semi-final clash with the San Antonio Spurs after a comfortable 119–98 victory, sealing the series 4–2 against the third-seeded Nuggets.

Jokić, a three-time league MVP, was the game’s top scorer with 28 points, but his effort was not enough to prevent defeat. The Timberwolves secured the win despite being without their star Anthony Edwards.
