The Minnesota Timberwolves ( 20 ) defeated the Denver Nuggets ( 1 - 1 ) 95 - 78 Friday . 2015 top overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns ' coming out party spearheaded the Timberwolves to a rousing victory over one of the more potent offenses in the NBA . The standout rookie posted his second double - double in as many games and was dominant on the defensive glass in particular , hauling in 11 of his 14 boards on that end of the floor . Towns ' deft 59 percent shooting ( 17 - for - 29 ) over his first two career games has also been an eye - opener . The Wolves also enjoyed a nice rebound effort from Andrew Wiggins , who had struggled mightily with his shot in the opener . Wiggins poured in 18 points to supplement Towns ' outstanding effort , and Zach LaVine and Kevin Martin paced Minnesota 's bench with 10 and 14 points , respectively . The Nuggets could not come close to duplicating their shocking road victory over the Rockets in the opener , enduring mediocre shooting nights from their starting five . First-round pick Emmanuel Mudiay paced Denver with 15 points and did cut down his turnovers to a respectable four after being charged with 11 in the opener . However , reserve Will Barton outscored the rest of the Nuggets ' starters with 14 points over 30 minutes , while the normally prolific Danilo Gallinari could only contribute 10 points on a subpar 4 - of - 13 shooting performance . Overall , Denver was only able to muster a mediocre 31 team field goal percentage in the loss . The victory keeps the Timberwolves perfect at 20 and in first place in the Western Conference 's Northwest Division . They now head to Portland to face the Blazers on Monday . The loss drops the Nuggets to 1 - 1 and places them into a last place tie in the Western Conference 's Northwest Division . They next head to Oklahoma City for a showdown with the Thunder on Sunday .
