The Minnesota Timberwolves came in riding a nice win streak and they were looking to improve on that tonight against the Suns.

Phoenix was playing without Jalen Green and Superstar Devin Booker tonight. In their absence tonight it was a huge showing from Mark Williams, Dillion Brooks, and Collin Gillespie. The Suns were in control of the game from the very start as the Timberwolves found themselves playing catch up. Mark Williams set the tone for the Suns in the paint against Rudy Gobert as both were going back in forth. Mark Williams had legit everything working tonight from the alley oop to even a 3 pointer that he drained.

William’s impacted the game in a way the Suns desperately needed and it worked out. Williams and Gobert were dominant tonight but both got hit with Flagrant fouls except Rudy Gobert’s was a Flagrant 2 that got him ejected. Rudy left the game with 15 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 assist. Mark Williams continued to be a force as he finished with 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Dillion Brooks was hitting some timely shots and he was very aggressive playing that number 1 option role. Brooks finished with 18 points but was hitting some contested jumpers with Timberwolves players in his face. Brooks is one of those players you love when he’s on your team because he will be a pest and get under the opponents skin. Also Gillespie played lights out in the 2nd half giving the Suns some cushion on some impressive made shots. He finished with 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists on the night. Gillespie is one of those scrappy players that you want on your team in crucial moments because he continues to deliver.

The Timberwolves on the other hand had an amazing effort tonight from Anthony Edwards as he was able to drop 40 on the Suns. They were doubling Edwards and he was able to keep making the right plays. Edwards had to brunt a lot of the shots when Rudy went out and he was able to get to the basket with ease. Anthony Edwards has that takeover ability and he tried to tonight but there just wasn’t enough time. Julius Randle chipped in 21 points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists for the Wolves. When both of them have it going on it usually means great things for the Timberwolves.

Bones Hyland was the bright spot off the bench tonight as Naz Reid wasn’t able to connect early in the game. If they get Naz and Bones both going this game would have been a Timberwolves win. Just lets you know that the bench is very important and you have to be able to adjust to different situations just like Naz did with Rudy ejected.

The Timberwolves will get a little break before they play their next game and will be looking to bounce back in a major way.

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)

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.

The season is upon us and tonight Coach Chris Finch gave the Minnesota fans a glimpse of what’s to come for the season. Tonight the Timberwolves were able to play with their starters as the only one out the lineup tonight was Jaden McDaniels. Naz Reid was put into the starting lineup in his place at small forward.

The clear cut things that we saw in the 1st half of the game tonight was the fact Anthony Edwards looks to be in mid-season form. Anthony Edwards was able to get to his spots and he was able to showcase some of his passing ability as well. Edwards showed that he can get down the court in transition tonight against the Pacers and he was able to attack his matchup with Mathurin. Edwards finished the half/game with 17 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists in only 19 minutes.

 

The other thing that was noticed is that Minnesota has to find that defensive identity from a couple years back. The Wolves gave up 40+ points in the paint and they allowed the Pacers to shoot over 50% the majority of the game. It’s just preseason but Wolves have to continue to make good habits on that side of the ball. The Indiana Pacers had 4 scorers in double figures and that was added on once the 2nd unit got in the 2nd half.

Bones Hyland has been on a mission once coming back to the Timberwolves and it looks like he could be that Lou Williams type of player for this team. Bones has been aggressive on the offensive end and he told us during Media Day he wanted to come back here to make an impact. If he keeps this going he’s going to have a serious role in this rotation moving forward this season. Bones finished with (11) points tonight as he was a bright spot for Minnesota.

Johnny Juzang has been able to make the best of his moments on the court as tonight he was (6-8) from the 3 point line and made some clutch shots to get Minnesota back in close range for the game. That type of shooting display will catch the attention of any coaches.

 

The Pacers are without Tyrese Haliburton and they will need to figure out the direction of the team this season with the PG position. Siakam will have to play that point-forward role but he’s very capable of putting this Indy team on his back like he did for Toronto. This team will need a huge boost from Obi Toppin as well because he has the game to stretch the floor for Indy. Mathurin will need to take that leap in his game for them to even be in contention.

 

Wolves will be in action a couple more times this week as they travel to NYC & Chicago for the next couple games.
