Timberwolves Notes
Player Notes
• Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves tonight with a team-high 26 points on 9-of-17 shooting, including 4-of-10 from deep, five rebounds, a team-high-tying five assists and two steals, marking his third 20+ point/5+ rebound/5+ assist/2+ steal game of the year (41st career) and his sixth 20+ point/5+ rebound/5+ assist showing of the season (92nd career).
• Edwards has now tallied 20 or more points in 20 straight games, his longest regular season streak of his career (previous high: 19 from Oct. 22, 2024-Nov. 29, 2024).
• Edwards is now averaging 27.7 points per game against Oklahoma City through three games this season, the highest scoring average against the Thunder among Western Conference players this year.
• Jaden McDaniels finished the night with 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting including a career-high-tying 5-of-5 from three, four rebounds, four assists and two blocks, marking his 11th 20+ point game (39th career) and his fifth 20+ point/2+ block game of the year (13th career).
• McDaniels’ pristine shooting record from beyond the arc (5-of-5) marks his first career performance shooting 100% on at least five attempts from deep and this is just the 12th such performance across the NBA this season. Additionally, this is the 13th qualifying performance in Timberwolves history and the first since Naz Reid went 6-of-6 from deep on Jan. 17, 2025 vs. the New York Knicks. McDaniels is just the ninth player in franchise history to record such a game.
• Rudy Gobert closed tonight’s game with 14 points on 5-of-6 shooting, a game-high 11 rebounds and three assists, marking his 22nd double-double of the season (498th career). Gobert is now tied with Denver’s Nikola Jokić for the fourth-most point/rebound double-doubles in the NBA this year.
• In 28:43 minutes off the bench, Naz Reid contributed 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including 4-of-8 from three, and seven rebounds, marking his 21st 15+ point/5+ rebound showing of the season (104th career), extending his lead for the most 15+ point/5+ rebound games off the bench in the NBA this season.
