Kevin Love heard a couple of snide remarks from the normally adoring Minnesota crowd, and it had nothing to do with his 3-for-17 shooting night against Denver. Some disparaging comments about the Timberwolves organization and his contract appeared to get a few fans a little riled up, and Nikola Pekovic and JJ Barea stepped in to deliver a much-needed win against the road-weary Nuggets. Pekovic had 22 points and 11 rebounds and the Timberwolves used a big advantage at the free-throw line to overcome Love's shooting struggles in a 108-105 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night.
