In a highly anticipated matchup between Western Conference powerhouses, Anthony Edwards propelled the Minnesota Timberwolves (33-14) to a 107-101 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder (32-15).
Edwards’ 27-point performance led the Timberwolves to a crucial win, breaking the tie between the two teams atop the conference standings.
Karl-Anthony Towns contributed 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Rudy Gobert added 12 points and 17 rebounds for Minnesota, securing a much-needed win after facing challenges in their recent games.
Facing a formidable opponent, the Thunder, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 37 points and 20 points from Jalen Williams, put up a fierce fight. However, it wasn’t enough to overcome the Timberwolves, who managed to take control in the crucial moments of the game.
The game remained tightly contested, with both teams splitting their four meetings this season. Oklahoma City’s standout rookie, Chet Holmgren, had a challenging night, finishing with just four points on 2-for-9 shooting in 32 minutes.
