Anthony helps Nuggets hold off Love’s 43 points -- The AP reports: Kevin Love was cleaning up on the boards and hitting one shot after another on a career night. His only problem, as it turned out, was that he didn’t have eyes in the back of his head. Carmelo Anthony scored 24 points and blocked an attempted layup by Love from behind in the late going, helping the Denver Nuggets withstand Love’s career-high, 43-point performance for a 115-113 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night... Love, who had 17 rebounds for his 14th consecutive double-double, grabbed an offensive board with 1:22 left... Ty Lawson added 23 points for the Nuggets and Arron Afflalo had 17. Michael Beasley had 17 points for Minnesota, and Webster and Jonny Flynn added 12 apiece. The Timberwolves were missing two of their top post players, center Darko Milicic and forward Nikola Pekovic, who were both sidelined with sprained ankles.
