With mere hours to prepare for the Minnesota Timberwolves, whom they faced on the second night of a back-to-back after a win at home against the Houston Rockets followed by a 900-mile trek, the Denver Nuggets galvanized enough energy to pull out a win.
Denver downed Minnesota 107-106 at the Target Center to extend their current win streak to six games and improve to 37-15 on the season.
“It’s a division win on the road,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. “That’s the second time we’ve come in here and won. So, I love the fact that we started this road trip off on the right note.
