The Timberwolves Handed The LA Clippers Their 18th Loss Of The Season (109-106)

The Timberwolves came into this game on a 4 game winning streak. The Clippers were coming into town fresh off of sending CP3 home. When everyone thought the Clippers would look out of whack they came out strong in Minnesota.

The Clippers were able to strike first with some vintage play from Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. Both the future hall of famers combined for 54 points and were able to put the Clippers on their back. James Harden was able to get to his spots against the Timberwolves defense early in the game and throughout the game. Kawhi Leonard looked really good for the Clippers as well with his mid range game.

Another bright spot for the Clippers was the impact that Zubac had against the Timberwolves in the paint finishing with 15 points and 13 rebounds. The Clippers had a game plan of trying to take Anthony Edwards out of the game which happened as he finished with 15 points but the other players stepped up big time.

The Timberwolves of 2025 have learned to play through multiple players and one of those players is Jaden McDaniels. Jaden was defending Harden and Leonard but still managed to come out in the 2nd half aggressive on both ends. Speaking of both ends it was his offense that took over as he was able to get the jumper going and attacked the rim with ease.

Jaden put the Timberwolves offense on his back and it was a sight to see because the Clippers had no answers for him. When Jaden gets in his scoring bag like he did in the 2nd half it’s special to watch. On the night Jaden finished with 27 points and the Wolves needed every single point. It was impressive to see the way Jaden was able to play within the game and didn’t let anything feel forced.

The Timberwolves made a lot of hustle plays and the two players down the stretch that made crucial plays for Minnesota was Naz Reid/Mike Conley. Both of them made some huge plays whether it was chasing a ball down, hitting big shots in big moments, or just getting the rebounds. It seems like Naz and Mike were around for big moments and it counted when it mattered. Naz Reid had 19 points off the bench and made an impact instantly when he came in the game against the Clippers.

The Timberwolves will be playing the Phoenix Suns on Monday as they look to keep their winning streak alive.

The Timberwolves have been on a roll as of late and that has been because of the amazing play from Naz Reid. The Wolves took on the Wizards who only have 1 win on the season. It’s the Timberwolves last home game before they hit the road for a stretch of games.

The first quarter in this one belonged to Anthony Edwards as he was able to score 12 points. It didn’t matter who they put on Anthony Edwards tonight he came out aggressive and on a mission to put the Wizards away early. The Wizards put Middleton and George on him tonight and it was a clear mismatch. Anthony Edwards finished with 18 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists on the night. The Timberwolves were up by 27 points at one point in the game so they didn’t need Edwards for the whole night.

Once Anthony Edwards hit the bench to get some rest it quickly turned into the Naz Reid show in Target Center. The heater that Naz Reid has been on this week needs to be studied all over. It has been amazing to watch Naz play elite basketball on both sides of the ball. He’s been able to hit his 3 point shot but he’s been making opponents like the Wizards tonight pay for not doubling. Naz Reid had a 20+ point 1st half and was able to put the team on his back as he made it tough for the Wizards to keep up with the scoring. Naz Reid shot (11-21) from the field and it was special to watch for any Wolves fan tonight.

The Wizards made a run in the 3rd quarter trying to make it close coming out of halftime but Minnesota put a stop to that quick. Khris Middleton had 23 points on the night for the Wizards. Washington had 7 scorers in double digits tonight but it wasn’t enough as the Timberwolves defense forced 17 turnovers. The Timberwolves lived at the line tonight as they went (25-35)from the free throw line. Minnesota hasn’t settled for jumpers on this stretch as they have been able to attack the rim with aggression.

The Timberwolves will begin their road trip as they will be leaving Minnesota (10-5) on the season.

The Timberwolves came into Monday night’s game after a loss to the Nuggets ready to bounce back. Minnesota had the (4-10) Dallas Mavericks coming to town as they got their 1st look at the 1st overall pick Cooper Flagg.

Tonight’s game was all about the bench as Naz Reid has been on a mission these last few games. Naz has been bringing the energy and he has been able to attack the paint against mismatches.

The Mavericks had Flagg guarding Naz and he was able to get the better of him inside the paint. Reid shot (9-14) from the field tonight and was able to put the Timberwolves on his back with his amazing shooting display. You can tell that Naz Reid has bought into the gameplan by Coach Finch and that has shown on both ends of the floor. If Naz Reid is back in 6th Man of the Year mode this Timberwolves team will be a scary out for any team. Naz Reid finished with 22 points and 12 rebounds in the night.

The crazy part about this game is that Anthony Edwards didn’t get his 1st point of the game until 2:49 left in the 2nd quarter. Ant Man got it going in the 2nd half but most of his scoring wasn’t needed as Minnesota was up by 33 points. Anthony Edwards finished with 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. The Wolves were clicking on all cylinders as they finished the game with 6 scorers in double digits tonight. Rudy Gobert had a nice night as well with 15 points & 9 rebounds on the evening. The Mavericks didn’t match up well with the Timberwolves tonight as they were caught in a buzz saw.

 

Cooper Flagg finished with 15 points, 1 rebounds, and 2 assists on the night. Flagg showed some promise as he was able to get to his spots and made some tough shots over the Timberwolves interior defenders. The Mavericks had 3 players in double figures tonight (Washington, Flagg, and Williams) with them now dropping to 4-11 on the season they will see Minnesota again down the line hopefully at full strength.

The Minnesota Timberwolves came out playing pissed off after their lose to the Knicks the other night. It’s unfortunate but the Utah Jazz had to face this Timberwolves team that was ready to bounce back in a big way.

Anthony Edwards came out extremely aggressive tonight against the Jazz as it felt like he could do whatever he wanted too. Edwards was able to get to all his spots tonight with his drives to the paint and his step back jumper. No one on the Utah Jazz was able to slow him down as he was clearly on a mission tonight. Edwards finished with 37 points with only playing 26 minutes tonight. This was a great bounce back game for Ant Man and the Timberwolves after the Knicks game.

Anthony Edwards stat line might steal the spotlight but Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels came up big time tonight. Julius Randle did it all tonight against Utah as he finished with a triple double (19 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists). The Jazz had no answer as Randle was able to beat them in every way from playmaking to rebounding and to scoring. Randle has been on an amazing stretch of games right now where he’s just seeing the game at an elite level. When Randle plays like this the Wolves are unstoppable as a unit.

Jaden McDaniels has been elite as well this year and tonight he was able to showcase his well improved jumper. Jaden finished with 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 ast. The Jazz had no answer for Jaden in transition and they were able to slow him down on the jumpers he made. Jaden defensively did an amazing job on Markkanen with his size and length as he was held to only 12 points.

The Timberwolves shot (56%) as a unit and looked really good against an Utah team trying to find their identity. It was a rough to watch if you were a Jazz fan as the Timberwolves led by 44 points at one point during this game.

Minnesota Takes Care Of Business At Home Against The Loong-Lions (134-74)

Minnesota Takes Care Of Business At Home Against The Loong-Lions (134-74)

Featured

The Timberwolves are ramping up for the regular season but while doing that they need some good looks at the reserves. Against the Loong-Lions they sat their main rotational players to get that very chance. The Loong-Lions aren’t any pushover as they have former NBA players (Victor Oladipo, Deonte Burton, and Frank Kaminsky) on the team trying to make it back.

 

The young Timberwolves looked really good tonight as we were able to see Rob Dillingham really showcase the talent that fans in Minnesota have been wanting to see since last year. Rob was able to get to the rim with ease and he was able to get his teammates involved like a true point guard. Rob Dillingham finished with 27 points and 9 assists on the night. It was great to see Rob being aggressive and running the offense tonight. When given the opportunity Rob has been able to succeed but it just needs to be consistent on both ends. Rob Dillingham was in his bag tonight and he was playing with intensity on both ends. He’s a special talent and it’s all about playing with confidence within yourself and your teammates.

 

Speaking of teammates Terrence Shannon Jr and Leonard Miller were shinning bright in their moments tonight. The things we’re seeing from Shannon Jr this preseason have been very impressive. The Loong-Lions had no answer for Shannon Jr’s 3 point shooting and his attacking the paint. Shannon Jr shot 4/6 from the field tonight and he was showing off his ball handling as he was finding his teammates in transition. It looked like Shannon Jr was looking to feed his teammates tonight but when the defense gave him open looks he made them pay. Shannon Jr has grown in a year and he’s going to be a special piece to the Timberwolves puzzle this season.

 

Lenard Miller & Joan Beringer were extremely effective on the boards as both combined for 21 rebounds as both had double doubles. They were able to set the tone defensively and made the best of every offensive opportunity they were given. The Timberwolves had 6 players in double figures tonight and the coaching staff was able to see some of the execution they were looking for before team cuts.

 

The former NBA players for the Loong-Lions showed up as Kaminsky/Oladipo combined for 24 points & 9 rebounds. The Lions trailed by 59 points at one point in the game and it was not the output they were expecting against the 2nd/3rd unit for Minnesota.
