The Nuggets were without star point guard Jamal Murray for a fourth consecutive game, and once again their lack of depth was exposed as their bench provided very little help in Denver’s second straight loss at home. Rudy Gobert added 21 points for Minnesota, which has won four in a row. Playing on the court where their playoff run ended last season, the Timberwolves took the lead for good on Gobert’s alley-oop dunk in the opening minutes and never let up in cruising to their biggest victory of the season.Heat rout Trail Blazers 142-82 for largest margin of victory in team history
Before the game, Nuggets coach Michael Malone hinted Murray might also miss the Nuggets’ Sunday matinee against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he said he wasn’t worried that his star point guard would be out for much longer.By the time he returns, the Nuggets might find the coveted No. 1 seed they rode to their first NBA title last summer out of reach as they seek to repeat.
