Jokic was nowhere to be found, scoring only 7 points while earning 12 rebounds in the game. For some reason, he constantly resorted to posting up before passing the ball instead of taking shots. We’ll look into fixing this issue for future games.

Additionally, check out some game stats:

With the win, the Timberwolves reclaim their series lead. However, there’s still plenty of pressure on this team, especially against the defending champions. However, with players like Edwards leading the charge, the Timberwolves have a great shot of advancing past the Conference Semis and beyond. It’s also possible they can avoid Game 7 entirely. They just need to win one more game.

As for the Nuggets, the loss hurts, especially after working so hard to tie the series up. However, they still have an extremely talented roster with the skill-set to close it out and prepare for Dallas or Oklahoma City. Nobody thought this would be easy for the Nuggets, too, considering how many incredible teams there are in the Western Conference. There’s still time for Jokic and co. to finish things right. They just need to make the proper adjustments to come back in this one.

In terms of accuracy, we feel the scoreboard and shot conversion percentages feel accurate. However, we’re still working adjusting CPU Sliders to create more authentic simulation numbers. However, one area we’re still trying to work on is injuries. Using custom rosters often leads to game crashes for us, and some injury updates aren’t revealed until right before game-time. However, we still plan on looking for ways to address this in the Conference Final rounds.
