The Denver Nuggets still haven't solved the Minnesota Timberwolves. Since the T-Wolves defeated the Nuggets in last season's seven-game Western Conference semifinals, Denver has lost two regular-season matchups with Minnesota.

That includes a 133–104 blowout loss to the T-Wolves on Saturday.

Anthony Edwards scored 34 points with nine assists to lead Minnesota. In addition to the defeat, Nikola Jokic's streak of consecutive triple-doubles ended at five. The Nuggets center scored 20 points and dished out 11 assists, but only grabbed three rebounds.
