MINNEAPOLIS — The Denver Nuggets topped the Minnesota Timberwolves 123-112 on Saturday night, but the scoreboard was the lone source of numbers for the final quarter-plus at Target Center.
An NBA courtside statistics program locked up with 2:08 remaining in the third period when statisticians attempted to enter a double-foul, a Timberwolves employee said. The malfunction prevented the collection of any further individual data, leaving fans, coaches and broadcasters without live box-score information for the rest of the game.
Game time and team totals continued to display on arena scoreboards, allowing play to continue uninterrupted. Complete statistics were uploaded to NBA.com several hours after the final buzzer.
The incident occurred on Nov. 16, 2025, and was limited to Saturday’s matchup, according to the team.
