Golden State Warriors Cruise Past The Minnesota Timberwolves (137-114)

Featured

by Travis Singleton | Nov 27, 2022 | Featured, Minnesota Timberwolves, NBA

The Golden State Warriors came out locked in during this contest. The Splash Family wasn’t playing any games as Steph, Klay, and Jordan were making things tough on Minnesota. The Warriors came out and scored 47 points in that 1st quarter which set the tone for the rest of the game as the Timberwolves were clawing to get back into the game all night. The ball movement for the Warriors was on full display as the Timberwolves were having trouble early with all the cuts and screens that come to play when facing Golden State. It was a special night for the Splash Family as Stephen Curry led the way with 25 points, 8 assists, and 11 rebounds. Curry was making some of those unbelievable shots and was able to get his team involved when he needed to. One of those teammates with that he was able to get involved was Klay Thompson.

Once the Timberwolves were trying to slow down Curry with multiple defenders that’s when Klay was able to get his jumper and some open looks. Thompson finished with 21 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds on the night. Klay made a huge effort on the defensive end as he was guarding Russell, Edwards, and Austin Rivers throughout the game. Coming off the bench Jordan Poole was able to add 24 points, 6 assists, and 4 rebounds. Poole was able to make some shots that were really tough in transition but proved that he is capable. Draymond Green had a big game as he was the ball handler and his 11 assists show that he was finding his teammates. Green had 19 points but the majority of them were in transition and he even was hitting 3-pointers.

The Timberwolves found themselves down by 28 points and it was looking really rough early on. Anthony Edwards was the bright spot for the Timberwolves as he was able to beat a lot of the Warriors off the dribble. Edwards can create his own shot and was putting on a show in the second half with Klay/Wiggins on him. Tonight it was Edwards 26 points that kept them in this game but it was too much trying to catch up. The Timberwolves ran into a well-oiled machine in Golden State but this is a great lesson for Minnesota as they get to see how a championship team operates. Minnesota will be taking on the Memphis Grizzlies at home on Wednesday as they look to get back into the win column. Ja Morant will be a tough player to slow down but the Minnesota crowd will be ready to help especially since they still want revenge for the playoffs series.

The Charlotte Hornets End Minnesota’s Five Game Winning Streak (110-108)

Featured

by Travis Singleton | Nov 25, 2022 | Featured, Minnesota Timberwolves, NBA

The Minnesota Timberwolves came into this game on a 5 game-winning streak. The Hornets were without some of their key players Hayward, Ball, and Martin. It was the Timberwolves that came out excelling at all phases of the game in this one as Anthony Edwards led the way. Early in the game, it seemed as though Edwards was on pace for a huge night as he started out with 12 points and was getting to the basket with ease. Edwards was also opening things up as the Hornets had no answer for him with McDaniels and Oubre trying to stop him. The Hornets did make the proper adjustments as the game went on as they were able to double-team Anthony Edwards and make it tough on the young star. Anthony Edwards finished the game with 25 points to lead the Timberwolves in scoring but it was a little too late when he got it going again in that second half. Towns/Gobert finished with a combined 36 points, 6 assists, and 21 rebounds for the game as the twin towers were dominant.

The only thing that really caused the Timberwolves to lose this game overall was the turnovers (16) as they were in costly moments of the game. Every time the Timberwolves turned the ball over it seemed like it started a fast break for the Hornets where they were able to get something with the Timberwolves backpedaling back on defense. The other reason why the Timberwolves dropped this one to the Hornets was the rushed shots and lack of makes from the 3-point line tonight. The Timberwolves shot 9/41 from 3-point land and they lived by the 3 and died by the 3 tonight. We would be talking about something totally different if the Timberwolves even hit half of those 3 pointers but that’s how the game works. Towns and McDaniels struggled on the perimeter tonight with their shots but this won’t happen on a daily as the Timberwolves will bounce back.

The Hornets made it tough on the Timberwolves when it came to hustling plays and making some great plays rebounding the ball in the late stretch of the game. It was because of the scoring ability of Kelly Oubre Jr. that the Hornets won this game. Oubre Jr made some tough shots that were well contested by McDaniels and Edwards that you just had to tip your hat to him. On the night Kelly Oubre Jr finished with 28 points, 2 assists, and 6 rebounds as he was the catalyst for the win and helped put a stop to the Timberwolves’ winning streak. James Bouknight and Jalen McDaniels had made some great plays on both the offensive and defensive end as well to keep them in the game. Terry Rozier wasn’t his usual self, especially with Russell guarding him but was able to get some huge buckets in that 2nd half. Kai Jones was another player that made it tough on the Timberwolves with his hustle, grit, and hops. Jones was all over the place and was dunking left and right on the defense. Minnesota has a date with the defending champs the Golden State Warriors on Sunday and will be looking to get back in the winning column ASAP at home.

The Timberwolves Defeat Indiana For Their 5th Win In A Row (115-101)

Featured

by Travis Singleton | Nov 23, 2022 | Featured, Minnesota Timberwolves, NBA

Don’t look now but the Minnesota Timberwolves are on a winning streak and have been clicking on every level. Tonight against the Indiana Pacers the Timberwolves made it an actual point to attack the paint in this one. Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns set the tone for Minnesota in the paint. The Pacers big Myles Turner had a great night offensively hitting 7 3-pointers but it’s tough doing that much offensively and then turning around to defend. The Towers of Power in Minnesota finished with 44 points, 10 assists, and 27 rebounds combined. If the Timberwolves bigs play like this on a nightly basis they would be unstoppable. This was the most complete game for the Timberwolves as they were able to establish themselves in the paint.

KAT and Gobert dominated the boards and were able to defend at a high level. The only player that got off for the Pacers was Turner but that was outside the paint. Anthony Edwards had 19 points, 2 assists, and 7 rebounds tonight. When Edwards has his game going like he did tonight it helps but it was great to see his game mesh with the bigs. Edwards was able to create different ways to score and to get his teammates involved especially on fast breaks. The other starter that put in work was D’Angelo Russell as he was able to get his teammates involved in the passing game against the Pacers. D-Lo went for 15 points and 12 assists in a well-balanced game. The Pacers didn’t know how to stop the pick and roll and they couldn’t stop the lob.

Russell has been the battery to this Timberwolves car and he’s been able to get his players in a position to win their matchups. Overall this offense has been rolling as they now have 5 straight wins on the season and have the longest winning streak in the NBA. Jaden McDaniels has been special and he showed it on the defensive end with 4 blocks. McDaniels also poured in 18 points and he’s improved on his shooting big time. This team is clicking on all cylinders and they will be looking to make it 6 straight wins against the Charlotte Hornets on Black Friday.
