DENVER, CO -- The Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Denver Nuggets 95-78 on Friday behind an impressive performance by rookie Karl-Anthony Towns.
Towns, the first overall pick in June's draft, scored 28 points and pulled down 14 rebounds as he starts his career with back-to-back double-doubles. The 19-year-old also recorded four blocks on the night.
Andrew Wiggins rebounded from a rough season debut to score 18 points in 31 minutes.
Ricky Rubio, Kevin Martin, and Zach LaVine also finished in double digits with 12, 14, and 10 points respectively.
