Towns Hands Denver a Narrow Loss in Minnesota: Takeaways

But alas, Denver loss, largely thanks to poor and unintelligent play in the 4th quarter. With this loss, Denver fell to 2-7 on the season in second-games of back-to-back sets.

From the start, the Nuggets and Timberwolves were both clearly in for a fight, and while Denver seemed in control for most of the game, Minnesota ultimately got the win thanks to a late game run that closed a 9 point 4th quarter deficit and gave them a 2 point lead going into the final 30 seconds of the game.

Denver ended with 6 players in double-digits, including rookie Jamal Murray, who saw a welcome return to scoring form.
