The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Denver Nuggets 117–108 on March 1 at Ball Arena, with the visitors' offensive firepower overwhelming Denver's defense in a game that fell short of the 240.5-point Vegas total. Nikola Jokić led the Nuggets with 35 points, and Jamal Murray added 25, but Denver's 48.2 percent shooting and six three-pointers proved insufficient against Minnesota's balanced attack. Anthony Edwards scored 21 points and Jalen McDaniels contributed 20 as the Timberwolves shot 54.1 percent from the field and made 14 three-pointers, generating 33 assists on their way to a 117.8 offensive rating. The second quarter proved decisive: Minnesota outscored Denver 36–19 in that frame, establishing a cushion the hosts never erased despite a strong third quarter. Denver's defense surrendered a 109.2 offensive rating while committing 13 turnovers, and Minnesota's elite perimeter shooting—combined with 11 steals—created separation that Denver could not overcome. The result marks a significant road victory for Minnesota as the Timberwolves continue building momentum in the playoff race.
