Nuggets, Wolves meet in a Round 2 matchup pitting team builder Tim Connelly's twin masterpieces

When Michael Porter Jr. watches the Minnesota Timberwolves, he sees a reflection of the Denver Nuggets from a year ago. “Just a team that believes they have all the pieces to do something special,” Porter said Friday. Porter didn't hesitate to connect the dots to Tim Connelly, the master team-builder who assembled Denver's championship roster before bolting to Minneapolis two years ago and quickly assembling a roster designed to unseat his previous masterpiece. “It's pretty amazing, Tim Connelly, what he did here and what he's done over there,” Porter said.
