The Wolves dropped a tough one to the Nuggets on Saturday night, falling 107-106 in a wire-to-wire battle. Karl-Anthony Towns was phenomenal, scoring 31 points on 63.2-percent shooting and adding 12 rebounds and seven assists, but he didn’t get much help—no other Wolves player scored more than 15 points.
Minnesota came out strong and led 38-29 at the end of the first period but the Nuggets quickly came back and things were tight the entire contest. The game came down to just a few key stats. The Wolves were outrebounded on the offensive end 15 to eight, the Nuggets scored 17 points off Wolves turnovers and the Wolves shot just 11-of-16 from the foul line.
