The Minnesota Timberwolves are now a loss away from having their season come to an end after being blown out by Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, 112-97, in Game 5 Tuesday night. It's the third straight win for the defending champs after losing the first two games of the series at home and now Anthony Edwards & Co. are in serious trouble heading into Thursday night's Game 6.

Draymond Green was back on TNT's Inside the NBA and he didn't hold back on the Timberwolves after the loss. The Golden State Warriors star thinks this series is over and laid out why he thinks Minnesota is done.

The Timberwolves will host Game 6 but they've already lost both home games in this series.

Jokic, meanwhile, had another MVP-worthy game as he finished with 40 points, 13 assists, and seven rebounds.
