Press Release: Denver Nuggets Set for Exciting Christmas Matchup Against Timberwolves
Denver, CO – Merry Christmas, Nuggets Nation! This holiday season, Denver Nuggets fans will have the thrill of watching their team take on the Minnesota Timberwolves at Ball Arena. This marks the fourth consecutive year the Nuggets will compete on Christmas Day, extending their tradition of holiday basketball.
Historically, the Nuggets have had a mixed performance on this special day, holding a 2-2 record in their past four Christmas games this decade. Notable results include a loss to the Clippers in 2020, victories against the Suns and Warriors in 2022 and 2023, respectively, and a defeat against the Suns in 2024.
However, the Timberwolves have posed a significant challenge for Denver, defeating them six times in a row, which includes a sweeping victory during the 2024-25 regular season. This series of losses includes a heartbreaking double-overtime defeat that ultimately led to the firing of head coach Michael Malone, despite Nikola Jokic’s remarkable 60-point triple-double in that game.
The Nuggets’ Christmas game is part of an exciting NBA lineup, which the league is eager to maintain as a competitive alternative to the NFL’s traditionally dominant holiday schedule. While the precise tip-off time is yet to be confirmed, it’s anticipated to start around 8:30 p.m. MDT on ESPN, following a busy day of sports as both the Broncos and Nuggets play in critical matchups.
As fans prepare for what promises to be a thrilling day of basketball and football, the Nuggets aim to shift momentum against their tough rivals, hoping for a festive and victorious holiday outing.
Stay tuned for updates, and Merry Christmas to all Denver fans!
