The

Minnesota Timberwolves

began the

NBA

season

with the goal of being one of the eight best teams in the Western Conference to compete in the

Playoffs again

.

With his two young stars leading the team,

D'Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns

, with

Anthony Edwards

, the last No. 1 in the draft, and with interesting secondary players such as guard Malik Beasley or the return home of

Ricky Rubio

, the franchise He dreamed, and still dreams, of fighting beyond the regular league.

But it will not be as easy as you may have thought.

They won the first two games of the season against the

Pistons

and Jazz, but Towns's

loss

is taking its toll.

The pivot hurt his left wrist and has already missed five games, all counted as defeats by his team.

A streak that continued tonight against the

Denver Nuggets

by an extraordinary

Nikola Jokic

: 35 points, 15 rebounds and six assists for the final 123-116.

In the Colorado franchise, a

Facu Campazzo

played 25 minutes

and is gradually gaining a place in the rotation.

The Argentine scored 11 points and distributed two assists.

In Minnesota,

Juancho Hernangomez started

again and had his best game of the season: 25 points and eight rebounds in 34 minutes that help him win the coach's favor from now on.

He has surpassed Jake Layman, who appeared as the starting No. 4 in the first games of the season, and could keep that role when Towns returns.

Ricky Rubio

was not so good

, with problems finding his ideal place in the deep squad of the team.

The Spanish base has changed his situation during this start, starting sometimes as a starter and other times as a substitute.

Against Denver he came off the bench, played 21 minutes and could not score, distributing only two assists.
