The Timberwolves have been clicking on all cylinders so far this season surprisingly without Anthony Edwards. A lot of people wrote this team off once Ant Man went down but they have been able to showcase true team chemistry game by game.
The Timberwolves had the Dallas Mavericks come into town and everyone was expecting a heavyweight battle in Target Center. What we got was a Minnesota team that was playing highly motivated on both ends of the floor. It started today with LaMelo Ball who came out aggressive on the offensive end as he was able to hit some 3 pointers that had Target Center rocking early. Once LaMelo gets to see one of those 3 pointers go in he feels like that basket is wide open like the ocean. Ball has been everything that the Timberwolves have needed and more on the young season. Ball has been amazing shooting the ball and tonight the Mavericks had no answer for him as he put up 22 points on the night. The most impressive stat of the night was his 9 assists as he was able to find his teammates in their spots making the game come easy. LaMelo was locked in from the start and when the Wolves are clicking like they were tonight you will look up and be down 30 points just like Dallas was at one point. It didn’t matter who was in front of Ball tonight he was playing at a level that Martin/Irving weren’t able to match. When LaMelo Ball’s playing like this he definitely makes a case for himself to be an NBA All-Star.
It was a complete effort from the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight as Kuminga/McDaniels/Hyland made it look easy. This Minnesota team prides itself on defense and they were able to force Dallas to sit their starters tonight in the 3rd quarter. Bones Hyland played out of his mind tonight against the Dallas Mavericks and has been a true contributor on this 5 game winning streak. Bones was able to get to his spots but made the best of every switch made when one of the Dallas bigs were caught on him. Bones has been special from 3 point range but tonight he was able to get his teammates involved with 8 assists as well. Bones finished with 24 points but when he has his game on a string like tonight there’s no team that can keep him away from being in the 6th man of the year conversation.
The Minnesota Timberwolves had six players and double figures tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. This Minnesota team has a lot of depth in the crazy part is Anthony Edwards hasn’t been on the court since the beginning of the season. The chemistry on and off the court has this team operating with high vibes that have been unmatched. Playing against the Dallas Mavericks tonight the Minnesota Timberwolves held Cooper Flagg to only 12 points, which was a season low. Jeremy McDaniels and Jonathan Kuminga made it tough on them all night as the Mavs were down 30 points. Miss Minnesota Timberwolves team has what it takes to go far and if they are clicking on all cylinders like they were against the, Dallas Mavericks this team has a true chance to go far. The next test that standing in front of the Minnesota Timberwolves will be the Chicago Bulls coming into town to try to break up the five game-winning streak on Saturday night.
