The Minnesota Timberwolves' defense is the Denver Nuggets' kryptonite

There's a scene in the first Doctor Strange movie where the Sorcerer Supreme has to battle Dormammu, this primordial being that dwells over the 'Dark Dimension' and wants to take over the world. Anyways, in this scene, Strange has to keep going back in time to learn how to defeat Dormammu, dying an infinite amount of times until he finally finds a way to beat him. This primordial being (in the case of the Nuggets, their typically unflappable offense led by Nikola Jokic) has been reduced to a pile of sludge by a resilient cast in the Timberwolves, who are operating as time-travelers, able to predict where the Nuggets want to go, what they want to achieve, and how they're going to win. In the first half of Game 2 in Denver, the Wolves limited the Nuggets to 35 points, their second-lowest total in franchise history.
