Timberwolves (13-9), Pelicans (11-10)
An early-game exit for one half of New Orleans’ All-Star big-man duo spelled big trouble for the Pelicans. Anthony Davis was ejected for the first time as a pro Wednesday with 4:11 left in the second quarter, leading to Minnesota expanding a three-point lead into a 13-point edge by halftime. Though New Orleans made a run to make things a bit interesting in the fourth quarter, Minnesota eventually regained its footing en route to a road victory. The Timberwolves opened and closed the month of November with bookend wins in the Smoothie King Center.
