Called out by Malone after a lackadaisical performance in a loss at Golden State last week, the Nuggets responded by playing with more intensity. Jokic added 18 points, eight rebounds and seven assists to help Denver snap a two-game slide at Pepsi Center. “There’s a chance to do something special.”Karl-Anthony Towns had 34 points and 10 rebounds to pace a Timberwolves team that’s fading from playoff contention. Towns did a little bit of everything to keep the Timberwolves close until Denver pulled away in the third quarter. All we do is talk, talk, talk — let’s start doing.”Malone’s message was taken to heart.
