Nuggets 113 (30-21) - Timberwolves 100 (11-39) | Target Center
Minnesota entered the home game shorthanded as Luke Ridnour and Wayne Ellington could not suit up due to personal reasons. Martell Webster was also sidelined with back spasms, leaving the Wolves thin at the wing position.
Both teams faced a back-to-back challenge tonight but Denver found its offensive rhythm after a poor first quarter, only shooting 36.4 percent from the floor. The Nuggets finished with an impressive 54.4 percept clip while Carmelo Anthony dropped a game-high 25 points and helped Denver improve to 30-21 on the season.
Quotable:
"Late in the ball game, I thought we took way to many outside shots. We were getting some advantages inside and I kept encouraging our guys to look inside for advantages. Even in switching situations we didn't take advantage of our match-up advantages inside." -- head coach Kurt Rambis Leader of the Pack:
One night after receiving the All-Star nod, Kevin Love backed up his selection with 18 points and 19 boards. The Wolves power forward claimed his 36th straight double-double, just one shy of Kevin Garnett's franchise record of 37.
