Like the Grim Reaper snatching souls, the Minnesota Timberwolves sucked the life out of the Denver Nuggets with a defensive masterclass to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven conference semifinals Tuesday night.
On Monday evening, the Denver Nuggets are playing the Minnesota Timberwolves (at home in Colorado) for Game 2 of their second-round playoff series. During the fourth quarter, 2023 NBA Champion point guard Reggie Jackson went to the locker room with an injury.
The Minnesota Timberwolves struck first in the Western Conference Semifinals of the NBA Playoffs to take a 1-0 lead against the Denver Nuggets. The Wolves were led by Anthony Edwards’ 43 points as he joined some elite company in being amongst the youngest players to score 35 or more points in three straight playoff games.
Anthony Edwards was unstoppable for the Minnesota Timberwolves as they won Game 1 in Denver, but the refs did their best to hobble him anyway. Towards the end of the third quarter Edwards pulled off a stunning move on Reggie Jackson to score and reacted by giving the Nuggets' No.
Since the start of the 2024 NBA Playoffs, Denver Nuggets guard Reggie Jackson has become a bit of an afterthought. A 13-year veteran, Jackson is averaging just 10.4 minutes per game this postseason.
The Denver Nuggets lost 111-98 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a game that was over midway through the third quarter. “We came out and got punched in the mouth,” proclaimed Reggie Jackson postgame.

Reggie Jackson was an absolute monster against the LA Clippers. For one night, he arguably looked like the best point guard in the NBA, and did something not even Jamal Murray could do.
The Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Clippers despite being without Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon and they have Reggie Jackson and DeAndre Jordan to thank.
Reggie Jackson had season highs of 35 points and 13 assists, DeAndre Jordan added season bests of 21 points and 13 rebounds and the duo used familiar surroundings to power the short-handed Denver Nuggets to a 113-104 victory over the host Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.

Reggie Jackson's departure from the LA Clippers will always be remembered as an emotional one. Jackson was a fan favorite, and remembered for hitting so many big shots that he was given the nickname "Big Government." Jackson had remained quiet about the trade, only posting photos with brief captions, until now.
Veteran guard Reggie Jackson joined the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday to end a whirlwind week. First, Jackson lost his role with the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday when they picked up guard Eric Gordon from the Houston Rockets as part of a three-team trade that involved the Memphis Grizzlies.
Jackson gives coach Mike Malone another ballhandling option and Nikola Jokic another passing target beyond the arc, where Denver is already the best shooting team in the NBA. All it cost them to remake their bench was Hyland, one second-round pick and a fortunate buyout.
Although the Nuggets didn’t make a major splash at the trade deadline, they did add some frontcourt depth by sending out Bones Hyland in a deal for veteran center Thomas Bryant. As a result of that move, veteran guard Reggie Jackson seems to be near the top of the team’s wish list.
Since he’s on an expiring $11.2M contract, waiving Jackson won’t leave the Hornets with any dead money on their books beyond this season, and they're more interested in letting younger players get run.
With five days to go before the start of their regular season, the LA Clippers’ starting five has officially taken shape.
While Reggie Jackson started every game at point guard for the LA Clippers last season, the arrival of John Wall makes that starting spot less of a guarantee.
