Denver Nuggets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 15, 2025

Denver pulled away in the final quarter to beat Minnesota 123-112, a 11-point margin that reflected the Nuggets' late surge despite a relatively even first half. The combined 235 points landed below the market total, as neither team quite reached the offensive output their recent form suggested.

The game stayed tight early. Minnesota shot out to 31 first-quarter points while Denver managed 29, combining for 60 in the opening frame. The second quarter slowed further—just 55 combined points as both offenses stalled—leaving the teams at 115 combined at halftime. Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle led the Timberwolves' effort with 26 points apiece, while Naz Reid chipped in 19. Denver countered through Nikola Jokić, who posted a triple-double with 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists; Aaron Gordon added 23 points and 10 rebounds, and Jamal Murray contributed 23 points with 12 assists.

The third quarter remained deadlocked at 58 combined, but Denver shifted into another gear down the stretch. The Nuggets outscored Minnesota 36-26 in the fourth—the game's highest-scoring quarter at 62 combined points—to secure the win. It was a familiar script: Denver had beaten Minnesota 127-114 earlier this season (241 total), and the Nuggets' recent form (123.9 points per game over the last 10) gave them the edge in a lower-scoring, grindier affair than that earlier matchup.
