Wolves Lose To Nuggets

(Minnesota News Network Minneapolis, MN) — The Minnesota Timberwolves had a rough second half in a 127-114 home loss to Denver last night at the Target Center. The Wolves led by eight points at halftime before the Nuggets rolled in the second half, outscoring Minnesota after halftime 70-49. Denver guard Jamal Murray poured in 43 points in the victory, while Nikola Jokic finished with a triple-double of 25 points, 19 rebounds, and ten assists. Denver improved to 2-1. Jaden McDaniels led Minnesota with 25 points, while Julius Randle had 24 in the losing effort. The Wolves dropped to 2-2 and will host the Los Angeles Lakers tomorrow night at 8:30 P-M.

The Minnesota Timberwolves won’t have their best player for at least the next two weeks. Anthony Edwards will be out for the next few weeks because of a hamstring strain. The team says the star player will be reevaluate in one week. Edwards suffered the injury in the first quarter of Minnesota’s win over Indiana on Sunday. The 24-year-old is averaging 25-point-seven points per game this season.
