The Minnesota Timberwolves had won four straight games and six of their last seven after beating the Sacramento Kings again on Friday. But that success was built upon one of the softest schedules
A nthony Edwards had a pretty simple explanation for what happened in the fourth quarter of the Timberwolves' loss to the Nuggets on Saturday night at Target Center. "They scored the ball, we didn't," Edwards said. "They just made shots and we didn't."
Once the defense started getting stops, the Wolves got back into the game. Naz Reid had his best half of the season with a team-high 17 points in the first half, bringing the Wolves from down double-digits, to up by as many as seven points in the second quarter.
-The Nuggets grab a road win against the Timberwolves. Denver rode a 68-52 second half to this comeback victory. This marks their seventh-straight victory, despite missing two starters in this game. Nikola Jokić had yet another triple-double in that victory.
The Denver Nuggets are riding a six-game winning streak heading into Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but they could be in for some trouble.
