Wolves Face Self-Inflicted Turnover Pressure Ahead of Game 6

Minnesota leads the series 3-2 but a 125-113 Game 5 loss to Denver featured 25 Timberwolves turnovers and a late surge by the Nuggets, spotlighting self-inflicted mistakes as the main issue. Wolves players insist they won’t overthink it, emphasizing simple decisions, discipline, and defense to avoid another setback. With Game 6 in Minneapolis, Minnesota believes trimming those turnovers (by roughly 10) could swing the series back in their favor, while Denver faces pressure to close out if the Wolves can net a win at home.
