On Thursday evening, the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Denver Nuggets by a score of 115-70 to tie up the series at 3-3 and force a Game 7.

Mike Conley, who missed Game 5, returned to action and finished with 13 points, four rebounds, five assists and one block while shooting 5/9 from the field and 3/6 from the three-point range in 31 minutes of playing time.

While he doesn't put up huge numbers, Conley is one of the most important players on the team.

"Sh*t, we got Mike Conley back. That was it."
