Nuggets hope to replicate road success, knot series with Wolves

Before the Denver Nuggets stepped foot on the court -- and before they even boarded their team plane to travel to Minnesota -- coach Michael Malone issued a two-part challenge to his group of defending champions. "I asked them did they believe that we could go to Minnesota and play against a great team and win two games," Malone said. The Nuggets will look to pull even with the Minnesota Timberwolves in a Western Conference semifinal series when the teams meet for Game 4 on Sunday night in Minneapolis.
