Minnesota came up short on Tuesday night against the Nuggets 112-100 after allowing Denver to control the boards and failing to force tough shots.
Less than 24 hours after beating the Houston Rockets, the Nuggets tipped off against the Timberwolves as if they were coming off of a three-day break.
It was ‘Star Wars Night’ at the Target Center on Tuesday night and from the get-go, Denver seemed to have the force on their side.
Getting what seemed to be every loose ball and just playing with more energy, the Nuggets relied on solid guard play in the first half to give them a 63-49 lead at halftime.
