The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Denver Nuggets 112 - 99 Wednesday at Pepsi Center . The Timberwolves ( 22 - 35 ) got a morale - boosting victory Wednesday night in their final game before the All-Star break , as they have now gone 3 - 2 in their last five games . For that , they have Andrew Wiggins to thank , as he once again carried Minnesota offensively for the entire night . He finished with 40 points - - his second 40 - plus performance in a row - - on 15 - of - 26 shooting from the field . Karl-Anthony Towns added 24 points of his own to go along with 19 rebounds as the duo once again accounted for over half of their team 's points . Shabazz Muhammed ended up being the only other Timberwolves player to score in double figures , as he scored 15 points in 17 minutes off the bench . For the Nuggets ( 25 - 31 ) , they suffered a bit of a letdown following their dominating victory over the league - best Warriors on Tuesday . They ended up shooting just over 40 percent from the field and not one player in particular was able to get into any sort of rhythm offensively . Gary Harris led the way scoring for Denver with 22 points , while Jameer Nelson and Nikola Jokic each managed to record double - doubles in the outing . Nelson finished with 16 points and a game - high 11 assists , while Jokic notched 15 points and 14 rebounds . The Nuggets have now won every other game over their last seven contests heading into the All-Star break , but they remain the No . 8 seed in the Western Conference standings . In their final back - to - back set before the All-Star break , Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns have carried the Timberwolves on their back offensively . In Wednesday 's win over the Nuggets , Wiggins scored 40 points while Towns added 24 on top of his 19 rebounds . Those 64 points between the two accounted for 57 percent of their team 's total points . And it was a similar story the night before . In their 116 - 108 home loss to the Cavaliers , Wiggins dropped 41 points with Towns adding another 26 . The team scored 108 total points , meaning that the young duo accounted for a whopping 62 percent of their points . In both games , only one other player managed to reach double figures , which is a testament to many things for this Minnesota team , including lack of depth and how much the loss of Zach LaVine ( torn ACL ) hurts this team on the offensive end .
