Regular Season Round 55: Denver N. - Minnesota T. 106-102
Date: December 26, 2014
Forward Kenneth Faried had a career-high 25 rebounds to go with a season-high 26 points, and the Denver Nuggets rallied to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 106-102 on Friday night. Faried had his best game since opening night when he had 22 points and 17 rebounds in a win over Detroit. He has struggled at times this season but had a breakout game against the struggling Timberwolves. Faried had 14 points and 14 rebounds in just 15 minutes in the first half to lead the Nuggets to a 53-47 lead at intermission. Forward Wilson Chandler had 21 points and guard Ty Lawson had 16 points and 11 rebounds for Denver. The Timberwolves have lost seven straight and 13 of 14. They came close to breaking that streak behind 23 points from forward Thaddeus Young and 22 from rookie guard Andrew Wiggins. The Timberwolves trailed by three after the third but forward Robbie Hummel's tip-in with 8:42 left gave Minnesota an 83-82 lead, its first since the second quarter. The lead was five when Chandler's running jumper sparked an 8-0 Denver run that gave the Nuggets a 94-91 lead with 3:30 left. Young's basket with 2:31 remaining made it a one-point game, and a free throw by center Gorgui Dieng tied it at 96 with 2:16 left. Lawson hit a layup, and after Young split a pair of free throws, center Timofey Mozgov dunked with 1:10 left to put Denver up 102-99. Dieng hit one of two free throws with 18.7 seconds left to make it 102-101. Two free throws by guard Arron Afflalo made it a three-point game. Minnesota called timeout but forward Chase Budinger stepped out of bounds before he could get off a 3-point attempt. Afflalo sank another free throw. The Nuggets led by 10 midway through the third, but a dunk by Dieng cut the deficit to 77-74 in the final minute. Chandler hit a runner in the lane at the quarter buzzer to give the Nuggets a five-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. Courtesy of: lindyssports.com
