Courtland Sutton and Alex Singleton watched Nuggets beat OKC
Courtland Sutton and Alex Singleton watched Nuggets beat OKC The Denver Broncos might just be good luck for the Denver Nuggets. Broncos legend Peyton Manning, quarterback Bo Nix, wide receiver Courtland Sutton (and more) have all attended Nuggets games this season, and Denver has won each contest with Broncos players in attendance. Sutton was back at Ball Arena on Thursday evening, joined by linebacker Alex Singleton. The players received a warm welcome from Nuggets fans: The Nuggets defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 119-107 on Thursday night, forcing a Game 7 in the series. Denver will now need to win in Oklahoma City on Sunday afternoon to advance to the Western Conference Semifinals. The Minnesota Timberwolves are waiting to face the winner of the Denver-Oklahoma City series in a semifinal series set to begin on May 20. If the Nuggets advance, we'll probably see Broncos attend more playoff games as players will be in town for organized team activities (May 27-29) later this month.

Golden State Warriors Eliminated! Timberwolves Dominate In Game 6, Advance To WCF
Anthony Edwards had 22 points and 12 assists for the sixth-seeded Wolves, who closed out the series 4-2 and will face the Denver-Oklahoma City winner next. Julius Randle scored 29 points on 13-for-18 shooting to send the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Western Conference finals for the second straight year with a 121-110 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 5 on Wednesday night. Anthony Edwards had 22 points and 12 assists for the sixth-seeded Wolves, who will face the Denver-Oklahoma City winner next. They could get five days off, if the Nuggets beat the Thunder on Thursday to force a Game 7 in the other West semifinal series. Brandin Podziemski had a playoff career-high 28 points for the Warriors, who again played without star Stephen Curry because of the hamstring strain that forced him out of the second quarter in Game 1 and took the heart out of their entire offensive operation. Jonathan Kuminga provided another energy boost off the bench with 26 points, but Podziemski's performance came too late and the production from Jimmy Butler and Buddy Hield was consistently too little after they led the series-opening win. According to Sportradar, the Warriors hadn't lost four straight games in a single postseason since 1972. Golden State presented far more of a defensive challenge than the Los Angeles Lakers did for Minnesota during their five-game series in the first round, but the collection of every-level scorers the Wolves can throw at an opponent when they're moving the ball and pushing the pace simply wore down the Warriors over the course of this series. Rudy Gobert was a force around the rim with 17 points, Mike Conley had 16 points and eight assists, and Donte DiVincenzo snapped out of a slump with 13 points as the Wolves shot 77% on 2-pointers (36 for 47). Series close-out games can sometimes be the toughest to win, but the Wolves played with a ferocity paired with their shooting touch that all but portended victory. Randle kept up his superb postseason, providing a constant source of energy and production. After grabbing the rebound of Draymond Green's missed 3-pointer, Jaden McDaniels sent an outlet pass to Randle for a layup and a three-point play for a 62-47 lead that ignited the crowd. Butler had 17 points for the Warriors, who whittled a 25-point deficit late in the third quarter down to 99-90 on a rare made 3-pointer by Moses Moody with 7:11 left. Edwards answered immediately with his own 3, and the lead was never below double digits again. tags : NBA First Published: May 15, 2025, 10:07 IST
