Here is a recap of the NBA Playoffs as the Timberwolves and Pacers win Game 7 to advance to the Conference Finals.

In a masterful Game 7 by Minnesota, Anthony Edwards overcame a poor start as the Timberwolves rallied from a 20-point second-half deficit to defeat the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets 98-90.

Thanks in large part to Edwards, who finished with 16 points, 8 boards, and 7 assists after starting the game with just 4 points, no rebounds, and 3 assists, the Timberwolves erased a 15-point halftime deficit, the biggest comeback in an NBA playoff Game 7.

Karl-Anthony Towns and Jaden McDaniels both scored 23 points to help the Wolves advance to the Western Conference finals for the first time in precisely 20 years.

Starting on Wednesday night, they will play the Dallas Mavericks at Target Center.
