DENVER — Whether the Minnesota Timberwolves are a bad matchup for the Denver Nuggets is still to be determined. Nuggets coaches and players refused to cede that big a point Wednesday night after the Wolves walked into Ball Arena and dog-walked Denver 115-95 before a sellout crowd.

Minnesota dominated its 115-95 victory from start to finish to improve to 3-0 this season against Denver. The Wolves have beaten Nikola Jokic and Co. five straight times dating back to last year’s second-round playoff series.
