The Minnesota Timberwolves held off the Denver Nuggets on Sunday night, sealing the win only moments after both Nikola Jokic and Julius Randle were ejected with seconds left on the clock.
The incident occurred in the closing moments when the two All-Stars tangled near mid-court. Officials quickly assessed double technical fouls, resulting in automatic ejections for both players. The brief stoppage did little to alter the outcome, as Minnesota maintained its advantage through the final buzzer.
Jokic’s dismissal ended his night after a strong showing that kept Denver within striking distance, while Randle’s exit capped a heated finish for the Timberwolves. Both teams left the floor without addressing reporters about the confrontation.
The victory strengthens Minnesota’s position in the Western Conference race and hands Denver a costly late-season loss.
