Two teams with beef
Back in 2017-18, the Wolves beat the Nuggets in the final game of the regular season. That victory put the Wolves in the playoffs and kept the Nuggets out. (Fun fact: It was the last time the Nuggets missed the playoffs.)
In 2022-23, the Nuggets knocked out the Wolves in the first round. The Nuggets went on to win the NBA Finals for the first time ever.
In 2023-24, the Wolves returned the favor, winning a brutal seven-game series in heartbreaking (for Denver) fashion.
In 2024-25, the Wolves dominated the Nuggets in the regular season, winning all four games, but they did not meet in the playoffs.
This year, the Nuggets have won two out of three regular-season games, but the Wolves are tough and have haunted Denver fans’ dreams.
