In a heart-stopping game during Tuesday’s NBA action, the Denver Nuggets, led by Nikola Jokic‘s remarkable 35 points and 16 rebounds, managed to hold off a vigorous comeback from the Minnesota Timberwolves, securing a 115-112 victory.
Michael Porter Jr. also made a significant impact, especially in the fourth quarter, where he scored 13 of his 26 points, ensuring the Nuggets finished their road trip on a high note.
“You have to put teams away,” Nuggets scoach Michael Malone said. “That’s something we really have to get better at.”
The game was crucial for the standings, with the Nuggets (48-21) inching closer to the Western Conference lead, while the Timberwolves (47-22) fell slightly behind in the race, now a game back into third place. Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon also contributed to the victory with double-doubles, enhancing the team’s performance on the night.
