MINNEAPOLIS — Maybe the Timberwolves don’t meet Nuggets coach Michael Malone’s criteria for a rival, but they are one of the few teams in the NBA that has had Denver’s number lately.
The Nuggets were playing from behind all game in a 133-104 loss Saturday afternoon at Target Center. Dating back to Game 6 of the second-round playoff series that Minnesota rallied to win last spring, Denver has lost four consecutive games to its divisional foe. Two matchups remain this regular season.
Anthony Edwards became the Timberwolves’ franchise leader in 3-pointers at 23 years old during a 34-point day.
