Magic 119, Timberwolves 92: Matinee Misadventure

The Timberwolves five game winning streak comes to a close in another day-game disaster.

@reichten.bsky.social has the story from Target Center ⤵️

Anthony Edwards on the team’s poor performance in games with early start time.

“I think we got a trend of not being ready to play at two o’clock or one o’clock. I think we did good in Denver and then we came out flat tonight.”

Anthony Edwards on what went wrong offensively in the 2nd quarter

“I don’t know Chris, I wish I had an answer. I do got an answer but I don’t want to say”

Wolves lost the almost 12 minutes with Edwards on the bench by 17 points

Wolves scored their first points in almost 5 full minutes minutes. Ends a 16-0 Orlando run

Wolves offense has gone scoreless for almost 4 straight minutes as their 7-point lead is now a 3-point deficit with 2 Orlando free throws upcoming.

Wolves are also 1 for their last 12 from the field including 0-6 from three.

No Kyle Anderson today for the Wolves. Out with Right Knee Soreness

Chris Finch on the afternoon start time: "Coming down the stretch here we have a lot of different start times. We gotta be ready for them all. We traditionally haven't been good in this window, but we were good last week in Denver."

Given their reaction, I don't think the bench believed it either

Yeah I should ask him about that as it's not the first time an Ayo missed layup has led to a Rudy putback. I agree that he saw Rudy and either thought of his shot as a pass or knew if he missed it that Rudy would be there to clean it up

Rudy Gobert led the Wolves with 5 assists last night. Two went for Ayo Dosunmu transition layups and another two came directly off of offensive rebounds.

Here are all 5 of them clipped up. Watch the second one where the bench goes crazy after the Naz 3

I think if people are comparing Ayo to NAW it would be that they are similar quality of players cause like you, I don't really see how they are similar style of players

Last night Ayo Dosunmu showcased what he can bring to the Wolves offense with 13 points including a pair of transition buckets, a 3 after a double of Ant, and a pretty back cut for a layup

Here's all of his makes from last night plus a miss that directly led to a Rudy putback

Come for the Wolves talk, stay for the Jon Krawczynski cameo

I asked Ayo Dosunmu about playing with Kyle Anderson and the back door cut he had in the 3rd Q. Here's what he said along with the play referenced in my question.

"The second day he got here he shot me a text at like 7 in the morning and told me hey that cut be there I swear."

Final: Wolves 115, Raptors 107

Really good Timberwolves performance pretty much from start to finish tonight. That's 5 in a row for the Wolves who now sit as the 3 seed in the West

Anthony Edwards dunk
🥵

21-5 run here for the Wolves to open up a 15-point lead in the 3rd quarter. The vibes are high here at Target Center

Wolves up 1 at the half. Just 8 points on 5 shots for Ant, should look to get him more looks in the second half

Wolves have just 3 defensive stops the entire second quarter after almost 7.5 minutes

Raptors have made 7 of their first 9 shots to start the second quarter

Wolves started the game down 7-19, finished the quarter on a 24-8 run

Wolves weren't quite ready to go to start the game and picked up a delay of game warning. Now the Raptors get a technical free throw of Jaden rolled the ball to the other side of the court

Spoke with several Timberwolves players in the locker room before the game tonight and the general sentiment is:

1) They all expect Slow-Mo to come in and be himself
2) That guys who haven't played with him yet (Donte, Ayo, Bones) know what to expect

Update: Anthony Edwards is available tonight against Memphis

Anthony Edwards pops up on the injury report as questionable due to right foot injury management

Timberwolves have made the Kyle Anderson signing official. He will be in uniform tomorrow against Memphis.
