The Denver Nuggets struggled to contain Andrew Wiggins for the majority of Wednesday's game, but they got the best of him when it mattered most.

With the game tied and the clock winding down, Danilo Gallinari stepped up in the Mile High City, knocking down a turnaround fadeaway jumper over the Minnesota Timberwolves small forward to give Denver the lead.

Wiggins didn't have any better luck at the other end, where he drove past Wilson Chandler, who still managed to block his layup attempt to preserve the Nuggets' 105-103 victory.

The Canadian recorded a game-high 25 points to go along with five rebounds and two steals in a losing effort.
