GAME RECAP

MVP

JaVale McGee, Nuggets

He kept his elbows to himself this time but still scored eight of his 19 points off the bench in a decisive second quarter when Denver outscored the Wolves 32-17.

BY THE NUMBERS

26-40 Timberwolves' final record in a lockout-shortened season. That's nine more victories than last season in an 82-game season.

.564 Wolves center Nikola Pekovic's field-goal percentage this season, best in team history. Until Thursday, Kevin Garnett's .526 was the club record.
