DENVER (AP) — The trio of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. are paired again in the playoffs for the Denver Nuggets. They helped the Nuggets make short work of Minnesota as the Nuggets closed out the Timberwolves with a 112-109 win in Game 5 of their first-round series. Denver, the  No. 1 seed in the West, now faces the Phoenix Suns. Murray, Porter and Jokic haven’t been together at the same time for the playoffs since NBA bubble in 2020.
