Denver Nuggets Lock Down Sixth Seed in Western Conference

Thursday, 26 April 2012 22:13 | Written by The Associated Press |

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Denver Nuggets earned themselves another postseason date with the Los Angeles Lakers. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are going home for another long summer, and Brad Miller is going home for good.

JaVale McGee scored 19 points to help the Nuggets lock down the sixth seed in the Western Conference playoffs with a 131-102 victory over the Timberwolves on Thursday night.

Arron Afflalo scored 18 points and Danilo Gallinari had 17 points for the Nuggets, who won their fourth straight game and eighth in their last 10 as they surge into the postseason. Game 1 is Sunday at Staples Center.

"I'm just excited about being in the playoffs and I plan on playing as hard as I have since I've been in Denver," McGee said. "As long as we go out and play like we have been playing, we should be fine."

Ty Lawson, Kenneth Faried Lead Nuggets Past Thunder

Wednesday, 25 April 2012 22:32 | Written by The Associated Press |

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Denver Nuggets grabbed control of where they'll start the NBA playoffs.

Kevin Durant can't say the same about his hold on the league scoring title.

Ty Lawson scored 25 points, Kenneth Faried added 13 points and 10 rebounds, and the Nuggets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 106-101 on Wednesday night to ensure they won't be the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

Another win and Denver will be the sixth seed and face the Los Angeles Lakers to start the postseason, after starting the month clinging to the last playoff spot in the West.

"You do this in the month of April and a lot of things and a lot of pressure and a lot of stress have been on you, I think that it shows that our guys have a pretty big heart and have some good character," coach George Karl said.

Nuggets Top Timberwolves After Kevin Love Sustains Concussion

Wednesday, 11 April 2012 22:52 | Written by The Associated Press |

Denver Nuggets DENVER -- George Karl was in a foul mood after his team squandered a 24-point lead and nearly the game against a Minnesota Timberwolves squad playing much of the contest without its star player.

"Worst win of the year," the Denver Nuggets coach proclaimed.

Hey, it sure beat the alternative.

Ty Lawson scored 24 points, including four free throws in the final 17.6 seconds, to help the Nuggets hold on for a 113-107 win Wednesday night over the Timberwolves, who lost All-Star forward Kevin Love to a mild concussion in the first quarter.
