The Denver Nuggets come up short against the Minnesota Timberwolves 136-130. Despite Monte Morris scoring 23 points and shooting 4-5 from three in the 4th quarter,
T-Wolves just proved to be too much. Nikola Jokić lead all players with 38 points, 19 rebounds, and 8 assists.
Karl Anthony-Towns scored 32 points and made four three-pointers to go with 9 rebounds.
If the Utah Jazz lose to the Golden State Warriors tomorrow, then the Nuggets will have another chance to jump them in the standings if Denver beats LA on Sunday.
However, Minnesota is only 2 games back from the Nuggets now. The Nuggets need to treat every game like the playoffs from this point on.
The Nuggets score on their first 3 possessions but are stopped by the T-Wolves active hands-on defense.
D’Angelo Russell connects on 2 three-pointers early on and the Wolves go on a 16-5 run. Denver had 3 turnovers in the first 4 minutes of the quarter.
