The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Denver Nuggets in a rematch of last season’s Western Conference semifinals on Friday night.

Led by Anthony Edwards, the Timberwolves took down the Nuggets by the final score of 119-116 at the Target Center.

Edwards finished with 29 points, four rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes on the floor. He shot 11-23 and hit seven three-pointers, connecting on a go-ahead floater with roughly 25 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

The Timberwolves trailed by 10 points with less than four minutes remaining in the contest, but they were able to quickly erase the deficit and secure the victory.

There wasn’t any love lost between the two Western Conference rivals, as Rudy Gobert and Christian Braun were both assessed technical fouls due to an altercation following a dunk by Braun.

Anthony Edwards. That is all

Despite the loss, Nikola Jokić still wrapped up an efficient performance. The three-time MVP finished with 26 points and 13 assists to go along with nine rebounds. He shot 8-16 from the field, connecting on two of his three long-range attempts.

Russell Westbrook struggled to find his shot, hitting just one of his eight attempts from the field. He recorded five points, six rebounds and five assists.

The two teams will face off again on Jan. 25
