Jokic Makes History, but the Timberwolves Still Come Out on Top
On Tuesday evening, March 26, 2025, the Minnesota Timberwolves pulled off a thrilling and hard-fought 140–139 double-overtime victory over the Denver Nuggets — a game that instantly entered the books as one of the most dramatic matchups of the season.
Historic Jokic Performance and Minnesota’s Resilience
Despite the loss, Nikola Jokic was undeniably the main figure of the night, delivering the highest-scoring triple-double in NBA history. The Nuggets’ center finished with 61 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, once again proving why his name remains firmly in MVP conversations.
Still, even such an extraordinary performance couldn’t prevent Denver from suffering its sixth consecutive loss to Minnesota — a team that has consistently troubled the reigning champions in recent seasons. The Timberwolves’ victory only reinforced that pattern.
Edwards Steps Up with Leadership and Numbers
Anthony Edwards, the Timberwolves’ leader, also had a remarkable game. He posted 34 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, and 1 steal, playing 50 minutes. His all-around performance helped Minnesota maintain its tempo and withstand Jokic’s offensive storm, especially during clutch moments in the second overtime.
Analysts noted that Edwards wasn’t just scoring — he read the defense, involved teammates, and showed maturity under pressure against one of the NBA’s strongest teams.
Playoffs Looming Closer
With this win, Minnesota improved its season record to 44–32, currently holding seventh place in the Western Conference. The Timberwolves are on a three-game winning streak and have won seven of their last ten games, showing solid form heading into the final stretch of the regular season.
It's also worth recalling that Minnesota eliminated Denver in the second round of last season’s playoffs. It seems Jokic and company still haven’t found a reliable answer to the Wolves.
