The Minnesota Timberwolves notched a 126-116 preseason win over the Denver Nuggets on October 5, 2025. In a matchup of Western Conference contenders, the Timberwolves' offense proved potent, securing a ten-point victory on the road against the reigning conference champions. The game was an offensive showcase, with Minnesota likely maintaining a lead throughout much of the second half. Preseason games are primarily for evaluation, and this result would give the Timberwolves positive momentum while allowing the Nuggets to assess their lineup combinations without key players possibly resting.
