Denver Nuggets 117-113 Minnesota Timberwolves
Kevin Love a encore bien failli renverser une fin de match, vendredi, après un superbe tir à 3 pts réussi pour permettre aux Wolves de revenir à 2 points de Denver à 18 secondes de la fin. Mais l'intérieur de Minnesota, auteur d'un énième double-double (28 pts et 10 rbds), et son comparse Kevin Martin (27 pts) n'ont pas suffi sur le parquet du Pepsi Center. Portés par le revenant Wilson Chandler (19 pts), les Nuggets doivent aussi une fière chandelle au vétéran Andre Miller, dont la capacité à prendre un rebond offensif devant Ricky Rubio dans les derniers instants a été cruciale. A noter qu'Evan Fournier a joué 13 minutes durant cette partie, inscrivant 10 pts à 4/7 au shoot. C'est le troisième succès de rang pour Denver, qui semble avoir enfin lancé sa saison.Highlights
