GAME RECAP

IMPACT PLAYER

Kenneth Faried, Nuggets

With 26 points and a career-high 25 rebounds, including 12 offensive ones, in only 30 minutes, could there be any other choice?

BY THE NUMBERS

1 Times since the NBA started tracking minutes played in 1951-52 that a player had at least 25 points and 25 rebounds while playing 30 minutes or less in the game, according to Elias Sports Bureau. Faried did it Friday.

5 Missed Wolves free throws over 10 attempts in the final 2 minutes, 19 seconds.

6 Double-doubles this season for Wolves center Gorgui Dieng, who had his second in as many games with 14 points, 13 rebounds and four blocked shots.
