Nuggets snatched a 93-91 win against Timberwolves

Against Minnesota Timberwolves, Nuggets played inspired, confident basketball in the second half. The Nuggets snatched an impressive 93-91 win. Jokic finished with the highest twenty-six points, nineteen rebounds, and seven assists, and Barton finished with 10 points, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. Jokic outplayed his opponent Karl-Anthony Towns, who finished with 14 points. Rookie Bones Hyland finished with 8 points and 3 assists

“I just showed the team that play,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. “Guys could’ve quit on that. That was a 3-on-1 break. Will Barton didn’t need to get back, and the play that he makes on Malik Beasley at the rim saves it. But also Nikola gets back. He gets a second block on Anthony Edwards. So, good teams find a way to win. Last night it was a blowout. Tonight, it was a grind-it-out slugfest.”
