Faried grabs 25 rebounds as Denver beats Minnesota 106-102

Faried had a career-high 25 rebounds to go along with 26 points, and the Nuggets beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 106-102 on Friday night. Chandler made a running jumper and Faried had a tip-in to spark an 8-0 run that gave the Nuggets a 94-91 lead. The Timberwolves tied it at 98 on a layup by Young with 1:49 left, but Lawson scored and fed Timofey Mozgov for a dunk to make it 102-100. Lawson, who was quiet in the first half, then hit a couple of jump shots as Denver pushed the lead back to eight in the final two minutes of the period. Faried is the first player since 1951-52 to have at least 25 points and 25 rebounds while playing 30 minutes or less in a game, per Elias Sports Bureau. Guard Ricky Rubio missed his 23rd straight game with a sprained left ankle but has begun basketball activities. Saunders also said that center Nikola Pekovic (sore right foot, sprained right wrist) has begun working out but is not close to returning. Forward Danilo Gallinari is expected to miss about a month after undergoing surgery to repair torn meniscus in his right knee.
