MINNESOTA – The Denver Nuggets knew that Anthony Edwards was the Minnesota Timberwolves’ danger man, so with extra bodies they stopped him from scoring, and that was how they won.

Denver coach Michael Malone was pleased that his fourth-quarter tactical tweak to stymie Edwards worked, as Nikola Jokic scored 35 points to record a 115-112 National Basketball Association (NBA) road victory over their Western Conference rivals on March 19.
