Outage at Target Center limits Timberwolves-Nuggets statistics

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The Denver Nuggets beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 123-112 on Saturday night, but the final score was the only statistic available when the game ended.

A glitch in the NBA’s courtside statistics system froze the stat-keeping program late in the third quarter at Target Center. After the game, a Timberwolves employee told The Associated Press the system crashed when statisticians tried to input a double-foul called with 2:08 remaining in the third quarter.

For the rest of the game, the scoreboard kept track of the game time and the teams’ scores, but no individual statistics were compiled.
