Talk about a statement win on Friday. There has been much chatter about the Timberwolves’ inability to beat the better teams. Minnesota entered Friday night with just a 2-8 mark against teams with winning records.
So how do you quiet the detractors? By defeating the now 25-3 defending champion Thunder. In a 112-107 victory, the Timberwolves turned to their calling card from the past few seasons, which is a team that never makes it easy for the opposition when they have the ball.
Excellent effort on defense against Thunder
Seeing Anthony Edwards return on Friday after a three-game absence with a foot injury was huge for Minnesota against an elite opponent.
