Timberwolves can't keep up with Nuggets in 115-112 loss
The Timberwolves were down nearly 21 feet of height on their front line entering a matchup with the MVP frontrunner in Denver center Nikola Jokic. With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Rudy Gobert (rib) and Naz Reid (head injury) all out, the Wolves were going to have to battle the Nuggets without the weapon they have stockpiled to take down Denver — their size.
The Wolves still came to play, and they gave the Nuggets all they could handle to the last second but ultimately didn't have enough on either end of the floor as Denver came away with a 115-112 victory.
Anthony Edwards had an open look at a three as time expired, but his shot from the left wing fell short.
