The Denver Nuggets play host to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals at Ball Arena on Sunday.

This series is tied 3-3. The winner will face the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals beginning later next week. Whoever wins will have homecourt advantage in that series.

The Timberwolves (3-3) looked to be in trouble once they lost three straight games in the guts of this series, but their Game 6 blowout victory was their best performance of the season. Minnesota led by 50 points in that elimination game, winning 115-70. Seeing a team held to 70 points tells you everything you need to know, with the Timberwolves holding the Nuggets to 30 percent from the field and 19 percent from three-point range. That's what fans wanted to see from the best defense in the NBA, and now they are only one win away from a Western Conference Finals appearance. They already showed they can win in Denver when they took down the first two games of this series and it'll be interesting to see how they perform here.

The Nuggets (3-3) had one of their worst performances in franchise history in that Game 6 closeout game. It's rare to see a champion score just 70 points in such a critical game, especially since they lost by 26 points in this series just a week ago. That makes this Denver team completely unpredictable right now because they were dominant in their three-game winning streak in this series. That makes this final game almost impossible to predict because the Nuggets were horrid in their first two home games. Scoring 70 points is on everyone, but the bench was especially bad. They didn't score until garbage time in that blowout defeat, combining to shoot 4-of-27 from the field. It's not like Michael Porter Jr or Jamal Murray helped, combining to shoot 7-of-27. We expect a better performance, but it'll be difficult to brush off such an ugly showing.
