Timberwolves Notes
Player Notes
• Anthony Edwards led the way for the Timberwolves tonight with a career-high 55 points on a career-high 19-of-33 shooting, including 9-of-16 from three and four rebounds. Tonight marked his first 50+ point game of the season and his third 50+ point game of his career, tying him with Karl-Anthony Towns for the most such games in franchise history. He is the first Timberwolves player to record multiple 50+ point games on the road.
• Edwards’ 55 points were the second most points scored by a Timberwolves player on the road behind Towns, who scored 60 points at San Antonio on March 14, 2022. Edwards became just the fourth player to ever score 55+ points in San Antonio, with two of those four being Timberwolves players.

• Edwards scored 39 of his 55 points in the second half of tonight’s contest, marking a career-high for points in a half and the fourth 30+ point half of his career. Edwards’ 39 second half points were the most in a single half in the NBA this season and the most points scored in a half since Nov. 23, 2024 (LaMelo Ball: 40 points at Milwaukee; second half).
• Edwards scored a career-high 26 points in the fourth quarter of tonight’s game, marking his second 20+ point quarter this season and 12th career 20+ point quarter. His 26-point quarter trails only Towns’ 32-point third quarter on March 14, 2022 in San Antonio for the most points scored by a Timberwolves player dating back to the 2002-03 season.
• In knocking down nine threes, Edwards set a season-high for most made threes with tonight marking the fourth time in his career he made 9+ threes. He is just the third player in NBA history to record 4+ games with 9+ made threes before turning 25 years old, joining Tyler Herro (four games) and Anfernee Simons (five games).
• Jaden McDaniels finished the night with 23 points on 7-of-14 shooting, including 8-of-9 from the foul line, five rebounds and five assists, marking his 10th 20+ point game of the season (38th career) and his first 20+ point/5+ rebound/5+ assist game of the season (third career).
• McDaniels scored 13 of his 23 points in the first half of tonight’s game. He has now scored 10+ points in the first half of his last three outings, tied for the longest such streak of his career (3x, MR: Nov. 1 – Nov. 5, 2025).
• In scoring 10 points in the third quarter, McDaniels has now recorded his 11th double-digit scoring quarter of the season, extending the most he’s had in a single-season in his career.
• Julius Randle added 17 points, going 9-of-9 from the free throw line, a game-high 10 rebounds, two steals and two blocks, marking his 10th point/rebound double-double of the season (292nd career) and his first such game in a Timberwolves uniform with 2+ steals and 2+ blocks (seventh career).
• In 15:49 minutes of action off the bench, Joan Beringer finished the night with 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting, a career-high eight rebounds and a game-high-tying two blocks, marking his second career 10+ point game, his first 10+ point/5+ rebound game and his second 2+ block game.
• Five of Beringer’s eight rebounds came on the offensive glass tonight, making him the first Timberwolves rookie to record 5+ offensive rebounds since Naz Reid did so against the Chicago Bulls on March 4, 2020.
• Beringer is just the ninth rookie in franchise history to record 10+ points/5+ offensive rebounds/2+ blocks and the first to do so coming off the bench.
Team Notes
• In scoring 123 points tonight, Minnesota extends their streak of 100+ points in road games to 57 consecutive games, the second longest active streak in the NBA (Denver Nuggets: 60 games), the longest streak in franchise history and the eighth longest streak in NBA history.
• The Wolves shot 11-for-11 from the foul line in the third quarter, just the second time this year they’ve taken 10+ foul shots in a quarter and made them all (14-of-14; Nov 10 at Utah).
