Bucks vs. Timberwolves: Rest helps beat West’s best

After limping into the All-Star break, the Bucks used a huge third quarter to weather a late comeback attempt and avenge their loss to the T-Wolves two weeks ago, taking down the Western Conference leaders 112-107 at Target Center. Giannis Antetokounmpo had another ridiculously efficient night with 33 points on 9/13 shooting, and Damian Lillard flirted with a triple-double despite struggling with his shot early. Anthony Edwards paced the home team with 28.

Game Summary

Giannis baited Jalen McDaniels into two early fouls and Brook Lopez hit his first four triples, but Minnesota hung tough despite cold shooting.
