Minnesota defeated Denver 110–98 in the NBA on 1 May, overturning a one-point deficit after the opening quarter. The Nuggets led 30–29 at quarter-time, but the Timberwolves took control by winning the second period 28–20 and maintained their advantage through the second half, including a 28–24 final quarter. Australian Joe Ingles did not play for Minnesota, with no appearance recorded. His statistical line was consequently empty of on-court production: zero minutes, points, rebounds, assists, field goals, three-pointers, free throws, steals, blocks and turnovers.
