Denver defeated Minnesota 123–112 on November 15 at Target Center, with Nikola Jokić leading the Nuggets with 27 points and Aaron Gordon adding 23 in a fourth-quarter surge that proved decisive. The Nuggets outshot the Timberwolves from three-point range, connecting on 14 triples compared to Minnesota's 10, while Denver's 47 rebounds and 29 assists showcased superior ball movement and control. Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards each scored 26 for the Timberwolves, but Minnesota's 46.6 field-goal percentage and 108.6 offensive rating couldn't overcome a sluggish defensive showing that allowed Denver a 120.9 rating. The quarter-by-quarter split told the story: Denver outscored Minnesota 36–26 in the fourth period, extending a narrow halftime margin into a commanding victory. The Nuggets' 12 turnovers compared favorably to Minnesota's 13, limiting self-inflicted damage down the stretch. This road win strengthens Denver's position in the Western Conference playoff picture as they continue their early-season momentum.
