Nuggets win third straight in game five win, putting Timberwolves on brink of elimination

After dropping the first two games on home court, the Denver Nuggets have now taken three straight following their 112-97 win in Denver Tuesday night. 

Nikola Jokic had a sensational performance, scoring 40 points with 13 assists and seven rebounds on 68 percent shooting, doing it all without turning over the ball once. A couple other stat lines stood out: guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 16 points while going four-for-five from three, while forward Aaron Gordon had a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds. 

The Nuggets will try to close the series Thursday night in Minnesota.
