A familiar scene played out Wednesday evening in Denver: The Timberwolves ran the Nuggets off the floor. Minnesota dominated its 115-95 victory from start to finish to improve to 3-0 this season against Denver. The Wolves have beaten Nikola Jokic and Co. five straight times dating back to last year’s second-round playoff series.

That’s the third win in three tries against the Nuggets this season, results reminiscent of last season’s playoffs.

There is a rematch of a playoff matchup from last season that could also be a preview of a possible first round matchup this season when the Denver Nuggets host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, March 12 at Ball Arena in Denver.
