Arron Afflalo might be the closest thing the banged-up Denver Nuggets have to a late-game closer. So when he clanged his first game-winning chance off the back of the rim at the end of regulation, he berated himself all the way to the bench, just hoping for another shot. And when that second opportunity arrived, Afflalo didn't miss. Afflalo hit a tiebreaking floater in the lane with 33.7 seconds remaining in overtime and reserve Al Harrington scored a season-high 31 points as the Nuggets beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 103-101 on Monday night.
