Dosunmu scores 43 points as Timberwolves overcome injuries to beat Nuggets
112-96 for 3-1 lead
Ayo Dosunmu scored a career-high 43 points, stepping up after leg injuries to
Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo with the highest-scoring playoff
performance by a reserve in 50 years, and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the
Denver Nuggets 112-96 on Saturday night.
The Timberwolves took a 3-1 lead in the series in a game that ended with
ejections of Nikola Jokic and Julius Randle after Jokic became angry when Jaden
McDaniels made a meaningless layup with 2.1 seconds remaining and confronted
the Wolves swingman near his bench.
The story before that was Dosunmu, who had the best performance by a sub since
Fred Brown scored 45 off the bench for Seattle in a 116-111 loss to Phoenix on
April 15, 1976.
