Dosunmu scores 43 points as Timberwolves overcome injuries to beat Nuggets
112-96 for 3-1 lead
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) --- 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 Denver's Nikola Jokic and Minnesota's 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.
