Saturday night was the Timberwolves’ first outing in the 2025 Emirates NBA Cup. The win couldn’t get much easier for Minnesota as they manhandled the Jazz with a 137-97 victory. That 40-point win gives the Wolves a huge early advantage in group play of the NBA Cup as point differential is a tiebreaker.
In his second game back after missing 4 in a row with a strained right hamstring, Anthony Edwards looked back to his normal self in scoring 37 points. Julius Randle secured his second triple-double in three games with 19 points, 10 rebounds, and 12 assists.
