明尼苏达森林狼队在NBA季后赛系列赛第二场比赛中，从19分的落后劣势中奋起反击，最终以119比114击败丹佛掘金队，将总比分扳成1比1平。前锋贾登·麦克丹尼尔斯在赛后直言不讳地批评了丹佛的防守，称针对尼古拉·约基奇、贾马尔·穆雷和整个团队进行攻击是他们的策略。安东尼·爱德华兹和朱利叶斯·兰德尔联手贡献54分，引领了此次反击。
森林狼队开局曾一度落后19分，但随后在第二节发起强力反扑，爱德华兹和兰德尔通过双人配合不断冲击丹佛的防线。麦克丹尼尔斯在赛后解释了这一战术：“去针对约基奇、贾马尔以及所有防守糟糕的人。小蒂姆·哈达威、卡姆·约翰逊、阿隆·戈登，整个球队。直接冲击他们就好。”当被问及他们是否都是差劲的防守者时，他回答道：“是的，他们防守都很差。”他补充说，丹佛缺乏禁区保护能力，而明尼苏达的运动天赋使他们即便面对阻碍也能完成终结。这是两队四年内第三次在季后赛相遇，竞争愈发激烈。第三场比赛将移师明尼苏达举行，森林狼队有望取得2比1的领先优势。麦克丹尼尔斯这些面无表情发表的言论，极有可能成为掘金队在客场反击时的激励动力。
