After three quarters of Game 4, Michael Porter Jr. was looking like a non-factor in the Nuggets-Timberwolves playoff matchup. However, MPJ caught fire in the fourth quarter, scoring two difficult 3-pointers that helped the Nuggets force overtime. Despite Porter's contributions, the Timberwolves held on to win 114-108 in overtime, denying the Nuggets' hopes for a playoff sweep. While some may wonder if Porter's sudden emergence in the fourth quarter made up for his earlier lack of presence, some praised the Nuggets' strategy against the Timberwolves. Reports noted that the Nuggets were supremely prepared for the matchup, with defensive coordinator Ryan Saunders and the advanced scouting staff working to prepare several players for Minnesota's key offensive players. Despite the loss, the Nuggets remain determined to move forward in the playoffs. "You gotta win 16 games to win a championship, and we're just taking it one game at a time," Porter said.
