MINNEAPOLIS - As of late, when the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets get together, one’s things for certain: you’re going to get a fantastic game all the way down to the wire.
Coming into tonight’s contest, 7 of the last 9 matchups between the two Northwest Division foes had been decided by 3 points or less (and/or gone into overtime), with Minnesota being on the right side of 5 of those 9 matchups. While the streak of close games continued Saturday night, it was the team from 914 miles to the southwest that eventually came out on top.
