MINNEAPOLIS -- As Minnesota Timberwolves forward Nemanja Bjelica let a 3-pointer
fly at the buzzer, Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone was already preparing for
overtime.
Raptors Jersey .After the last couple games,
its kind of like here we go again, Malone said. To see it actually in and out
was kind of nice for us to get a favorable bounce.Wilson Chandler scored eight
of his 19 points in the fourth quarter and Bjelicas 3 rattled out to help the
Nuggets outlast the Timberwolves in a 102-99 victory.Danilo Gallinari scored 19
points and Jusuf Nurkic added 18 as Denver erased a 15-point deficit in the
first half. The Nuggets outscored Minnesota 45-23 off the bench and shot 48
percent for their second win of the season.Karl-Anthony Towns had 32 points and
14 rebounds and Andrew Wiggins scored 25 for the Timberwolves, who gave away a
lead of at least 15 points for the third time in four games this season. Bjelica
scored 10 of his 14 points in the fourth quarter.Its like we have half of the
puzzle done and we dont finish the puzzle, Towns said.Denver led by 13 with
eight minutes to play, but Bjelicas scoring flurry helped the Wolves pull within
102-99 with 90 seconds to go.Emmanuel Mudiay responded with a three-point play
and the Wolves missed three 3-pointers that would have tied the game in the
final 30 seconds to help the Nuggets hold on. Jameer Nelson had 14 points, seven
rebounds and seven assists and Mudiay finished with 12 points and six
rebounds.It was a sloppy game, said Mudiay, who had six of Denvers 22 turnovers.
It was a bad game for us personally but we picked it up and we did what we had
to do.Minnesota led by 17 in the season opener against Memphis and 18 at
Sacramento, but lost both games.Denver outscored Minnesota 33-14 in the third
quarter to surge to a 13-point lead, with Nurkic bulling his way to the paint
and Gallinari knocking down 3s from the perimeter.But the Nuggets have been just
as shaky with the lead in this young season, including letting an eight-point
lead slip away against Portland in the final 90 seconds before losing in
overtime.The third quarter is haunting us right now, Wiggins
said.TIP-INSNuggets: G Will Barton missed the game with a sprained left ankle
and backup G Gary Harris was out with a strained right groin. ... Rookie Jamal
Murray started for Barton. ... F Darrell Arthur made his season debut after
sitting out the first three games and the preseason while recovering from
surgery on his left knee. He had two points in nine minutes. ... Denver has won
five straight games at Target Center and is 19-6 here since
2004-05.Timberwolves: Minnesota scored a season-high 37 in the first quarter.
For the season, the Wolves are averaging 33.0 points on 60 percent shooting in
the first 12 minutes. ... Gorgui Dieng had a rough night with two points in 28
minutes and picking up a Flagrant-1 when he hit Nurkic in the throat in the
third quarter.PINCKNEY BOWLA mini-drama broke out between the Nuggets and
Timberwolves this summer. Assistant coach Ed Pinckney was on Michael Malones
staff in Denver last season, but has a long history of working with Tom
Thibodeau, who took over in Minnesota. At one point the Nuggets offered Pinckney
a bump in pay to stay on, but after initially agreeing, Pinckney ultimately
decided he wanted to leave for Minnesota.Pinckneys change of heart didnt sit
well with the Nuggets, who dug their heels in. The two teams went back and forth
for a month. The NBA ultimately got involved and Pinckney did not officially
join the Wolves until after training camp started, getting a sizable raise from
what he was making in Denver.UP NEXTNuggets: Visit Detroit on
Saturday.Timberwolves: Visit Oklahoma City on Saturday.

. The recently retired Stern was elected Friday to the Naismith Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame and will be enshrined with the class of 2014 on Aug. The
West Indies Cricket Board has sent a notice to Darren Bravo saying the batsmans
match contract has been cancelled due to the disparaging remarks he made on
Twitter about board president Dave Cameron earlier in the week. In an e-mail
sent to Bravo on Friday, Richard Pybus, WICBs director of cricket, warned that
if the batsman did not delete the tweet and apologise by Saturday afternoon, he
could face further action from the boards disciplinary panel.While Bravo has not
made any comment in public, it is learnt he has not yet responded to the WICB.
On Saturday, the WICB had replaced Bravo in the squad for the Zimbabwe
tri-series for inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour, which breached
contractual obligations. While the cancellation of his match contract applies to
the Zimbabwe series for now, it could include future tours. Bravo is currently
without a retainer after he declined a central contract offered by the WICB for
the 2016-17 period in November.Earlier this week Cameron told Sports Max TV, a
Caribbean television network, that Bravo was offered a grade C contract (the
lowest of five grades) because of his declining averages over the last two
years. He also questioned how a player would be motivated if he continued
getting a grade A contract despite a slip in performances.Bravo responded by
tweeting: You hav been failing 4 d last 4yrs. Y dont u resign and FYI Ive neva
been given an A contract. Big idiot @davec51.Cameron had pointed out that the
decision was taken by a team led by Pybus, which carries out annual appraisals
of players. Pybus said Bravos statement was a breach of his contract.It has come
to our attention that on November 11, 2016 you published a tweet on your Twitter
account (@DMBravo46) disparaging the President of the West Indies Cricket Board,
Pybus said in an email to the cricketer. We would expect as a senior West Indian
cricketer, that you would recognise that your decision to vent your frustration
online, as well as to denigrate the President of the WICB, was inappropriate and
unacceptable as well as contrary to your contractual obligations to thee WICB.
Tracy Mcgrady Jersey. Clause 9.3.1 of your
match/tour contract provides that in default by you in respect of your
obligations under the contract, WICB may in its absolute discretion cancel the
contract by written notice to the Cricketer. In light, therefore of your breach
of your obligations to WICB in clause 4.7.2.2 of your match/tour contract, the
letter serves as a written notice that your match/tour contract is hereby
cancelled.Bravo was West Indies second-highest run-getter in the recently
concluded Test series against Pakistan in the UAE. Before that, he had a poor
Test series against India at home, scoring only 139 runs in seven innings. Since
November 2014, Bravo scored 1089 runs in 17 Tests for West Indies, a tally that
is second to Kraigg Brathwaites 1258 runs in 20 matches.Pybus urged Bravo to
acknowledge on Twitter the impropriety of his remark and stressed the batsman
should not use social media sites in a manner that could embarrass the WICB or
its officials, or bring the game into disrepute.We also request you immediately
remove the highlighted tweet from your account, and desist from tweeting about
WICB officials in the future, Pybus said. We further request that you
acknowledge, via your Twitter account, the impropriety of your actions and your
recognition that your decision to publicly express your views on social media
was not conduct befitting of a West Indies cricketer.I strongly discourage you
from continuing to use Twitter or other social networking sites in a manner
which might cause embarrassment to the West Indies Cricket Team, the West Indies
Cricket Board or any official of the West Indies Cricket Board and which can
potentially bring the game into disrepute.I ask that you also note that any
further such action on your part, including failure to comply with our request
above by 4 p.m. Eastern Caribbean time on November 12 2016, may result in
further disciplinary action, including referral to the WICB Disciplinary
Committee.
