Two win streaks collided in the Twin Cities this weekend. Something had to give.
In the end, it was Minnesota’s four-game surge that snapped. The Nuggets were too much to overcome, even without starters Christian Braun and Cam Johnson. With a 123-112 victory on Saturday, they’ve won seven in a row, including three straight on the road.
Denver (10-2) hosts the Chicago Bulls on Monday before hitting the road again.
Without Braun and Johnson
In their first game navigating what will be at least a six-week absence for Braun, the Nuggets had to replace two starters, not one.
