DENVER -- — Anthony Edwards scored 29 points, Julius Randle added 25 and the Minnesota Timberwolves extended their winning streak to six games by routing the Denver Nuggets 115-95 on Wednesday night.

Rudy Gobert finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who improved to 3-0 against the Nuggets this season. The last game between these two Northwest Division foes is April 1 in Denver.

Donte DiVincenzo had 10 points as Minnesota's bench outscored Denver's reserves by a 26-14 margin.

Nikola Jokic led the Nuggets with 34 points and eight rebounds. He and the rest of Denver's starters were taken out with 5:05 remaining and Minnesota up 109-84.

Jokic had a nifty coast-to-coast, fast-break dunk in the first half. It was a rare highlight for the Nuggets. Jamal Murray was 0 for 7 with one point in the first half. He finished 4 of 15 for 12 points.

Takeaways

Timberwolves: Their stellar defense limited Denver to 20 assists, 18 fast-break points and 52 points in the paint. All were below the Nuggets' league-leading averages.

Nuggets: After scoring 140 points in Monday's win at Oklahoma City on 60.5% shooting, the Nuggets never found their shooting touch. They shot 40.4% in a game they never led.

Key moment

Denver coach Michael Malone tried just about everything to spark his team in the first half. He called timeouts, challenged a play and even got a technical. Minnesota led by 14 in the opening half.

K

ey stat

The six straight wins is Minnesota's longest streak of the season.
