Wolves stay strong in second half this time, rout defending champion Nuggets
The Timberwolves’ Karl-Anthony Towns dunks as the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic trails on the play during the first quarter Wednesday night.After the Timberwolves blew a 19-point halftime lead in Atlanta on Monday night, they wanted a do-over.
On Wednesday night against Denver, the Wolves also carried a 19-point lead into the locker room, and it would be natural for even the most optimistic fans to have a voice in their heads echoing, "How is this going to go wrong?"
For a night it didn't, and the Wolves handed the defending NBA champion Nuggets their first loss of the season with a 110-89 victory.
