Minnesota Timberwolves Vs New York Knicks Full Game Highlights Oct 9, 2025 NBA Preseason
135 to 134. Tyler, I don’t know if you’ve been checking out the preseason games. Have you seen all the high scoring that’s going on? Yeah, and if not for a missed three-pointer by Enrique Freeman on Tuesday, the uh Timberwolves would have won that game in overtime. Yeah, the defenses have been like a dale. Nick, of course, want to be one of those highscoring teams as Bridges dishes to a wideopen OG and a Nobi, but he short arms a three. Robinson cleans it up. And that’s where the Robinson’s in the starting lineup for his rebounding prowess. Bridges short from that same corner. Don even Chenzo in the starting lineup for Mike Connley. As we said, he did not get to play here during the regular season a year ago because of a toe injury that kept him out for 19 games. Averaged 11 points last season for the T- Wolves. Randall left alone. Gets by Robinson and he missed the layup. He almost broke Town’s ankles that time on the fake. See how quickly the Knicks want to get out and run after a miss as his college teammate Brunson scores off the canvo to the hoop was the maestro. Brunson says he’s still getting used to the new high paced fast-paced offense for Mike Brown, but getting better every day. And now Bridges gets a steal. A race to the cup and he scores around McDaniels. Edwards, the face of the franchise, averages 27 points. His nemesis, turnovers, averaged three and a half per game. Coughing it up that time. Edward still just 24 years old. He led the NBA with 320 made three-pointers last year. He takes 10 threes a game, but this year he’s focused on posting and toasting and the mid-range where he is now. And his defense, ha, shaking and baking that time. Nice finish. And the Timberwolves are on the board. [Applause] Mike Brown says on offense, positions one through four are interchangeable. So you’re going to see a lot of similarity no matter who has the ball with the exception of the center. There’s Bridges from the corner. Couldn’t connect. Usually OG’s lethal from the corner. So is Bridges, but they both misspired. McDaniels a slow step in the lane. Altered by Towns and a rebound for Robinson. Uh, aounding D by the Cats. Robinson is really getting hyped up by his new coach Mike Brown on both ends. Talked about his alleyoop finishing ability. Brown said they used to game plan against him on rebounding alone when he was in Sacramento. Has the long rebound is tipped out of bounds. It’ll stay with New York. Action right in front of the Timberwolves bench. Jaylen Brunson all the way down to the 20th guy in training camp. So, he plans to get everybody at least a little time on the Garden floor by the end of the preseason. So far, the Knicks not looking jet lag. Little pep in their step. Runs missed a long three. Knicks are 0 for five from the field. Maybe that’s the jet lag. We heard the the first practice back from Abu Dhabi. understandably adjusting the clocks a bit, but coaching staff love the practices afterward as Robinson tears down another rebound. Oh, Brunson wheeling and dealing. Bridges steps around to even a get the roll. Could not get the 12-footer. So, he’s 0 for two. Uh-oh. Antman wheeling off the glass. Always aggressive, but the lefty layup spins out. He’s missed his last two. Even couldn’t steal the outlet. Bridges wants to run and now runs it in the corner met by Rudy Goar. Yeah, all defensive team. Second team is Gobear. Bridges catches, shoots, and connects. Bridges has missed its last two shots. Able to switch from the elbow this time. Thanks for five from three before that game. Look at Randall. Powerful drive and a kick to Devincenzo. Rattles out for Towns. We got a good pace to this game. Back and forth we go. And it’s Timberwolves. They say they want to play faster on the break as well. Oh, chucked it out of bounds. The maestro was open in the corner. Towns an errant pass. You heard the Towns quote during Allen Hans report that every coach in the NBA says they want to play faster. Well, the two coaches he’s played for that are in this game, Chris Finch with the Timber Wolves and Mike Brown with the Knicks. That has been their mantra so far during preseason. Randall and Towns matched up. Randle’s too elusive for Towns. That’s why he was open. Towns giving him too much room contesting the jumper. Randle averaged 23 points against the Lakers in round one last year and then 25 against the Warriors. Draymond Green was singing his praises. Towns can’t answer from the corner. We mentioned a nice piece to the game thus far. Three-point nick lead. Even Chenzo swings it to Randall. Wide open three and he ties the game. So good continuity by the T- Wolves now. Now Bridges on the attack. Towns thought about another corner three. Randall good D on the baseline. Denzo on the help defense forced the miss. They got numbers if they hurry. Randall wants two more and he’s got it. Mike Brown calls timeout. It’s a seven nothing Timberwolf run with five in a row from Julius Randle. Randall Catalonist. The T. See the Knicks have talked it over. Let’s see what they’ve come up with. Lot of quick passing as Robinson looks for a handoff to Anobi and they get it there. Yeah, the T- Wolves are a very good defensive team digging in. They’re the top defense in the league two years ago. Wide open three for Bridges after fumbling the catch from Rimdon. McDaniels could trip to the free throw line. Randall has been the catalyst. Five points propelling these guys back into the game looking for more. Randall short. Goar took the rebound, but Robinson took it away. Three rebounds already for Robinson. Brunson driving kick, but Edwards got a hand in there. That was a good defense forcing the turnover. Tough pass for Go to handle. The Knicks play great transition defense. They do seeing the ball. Castile. They do. Nice play by Towns and Robinson completes the theft. Can they capitalize? McBride loves this offensive system, but he craves the rim. He thought he got fouled. Ball tipped out of bounds off of New York. Let’s take a look at the transition debell checks in for the first time as a Nick in the Garden. Give him some cheers and applause. They should like his style. There’s a nick. Had an incredible block shot in Saturday’s finale in the Abu Dhabi games. Nas Reed, a former sixman of the year, has checked in as well. There’s McDaniels who steps back into a surve back rimmed it. Deuce McBride. Both teams languishing on the offense now. Turning it over again. head towards a twoon-one with Randall. Randle the cup. Good defense from Towns but effect. So Randle continues to ignite the T- Wolves. Watch the Ant-Man especially from that spot top of the queue. But that one too hot to handle for McBride. Mike Brown says he wants to move him around to different areas of the floor, including the elbow to maybe make even more use of his passing ability at seven feet. That could be a real asset. Yeah, he averages two assists per game this time. He has two turnovers right now. His first pass was a gastly one over the head of Brunson. It was Josh Hart early last year said he didn’t realize how good of a passer that Towns was. Towns like Brunson lost weight anticipating the pace and space game of the Knicks this season and maybe playing a little more power forward and that’s what we’ve seen so far with Mitchell Robinson acting as the starting center at least so far through three preseason games. Look at the defense by the T- Wolves. Brunson steps around Randall got it back from Town and he scores around McDaniels. That’s we was told in the versions of Towns dishing Brunson the beneficiary. Love to see that twoman game. A pair of all NBA guys connecting. And now Oh, deuce with he’s able to ambush Randall. Knicks out numbers. Brunson Bridges. Yaboo Shelloo. And Randall, that was quintessential Randall. That was the camera guy. Someone holding the boom mic. Kid getting coffee. Very popular guy and obviously a high character addition to this roster. Both teams turning the ball over now. The Knicks have been able to capitalize on the flunders by the T- Wolves. Edwards never hesitates from three and he puts Minnesota back in front. And Tyler alluded to the fact he led the NBA in threes made last season. Buseli tries to answer. Rebound grab filling the minutes left by Nquille Alexander Walker who signed with Atlanta the off season. Blocking foul called there on Bridges. But McDaniels will get to the free throw line. Second opportunities ignited him that time. Edwards doing a good job finding McDaniels. So he’s at the line for two. McDaniels career-high 12 points a game last year, but known more for his defense. He was a second team all defense two years ago, but received just a handful of votes this year. We mentioned how players want about how special it is to have a teammate like Malcolm Brogden. Apparently Towns has been a fan of Brogden’s his entire career. So another high character guy who could have a chance to get Brogden. Apparently Towns has been a fan of Brogden’s his entire career. So another high character guy who could have a chance to get some backup point guard minutes. Rumors the Greek freak says he wants to come to New York. Town’s off the mark tipped out to Yaveli. Brunson pumps, drives, floater over Baron Jay. Won’t go. Brunson’s pet shot. He could not get it down. Reosting. Good steal again by the Knicks. Abbyelli not necessarily known for his defense, but a nice play there. Brunson shimies. Towns attacks, draws a foul, and free throws to come. Towns forced the turnover. Now he’s the beneficiary of his good effort. He’s gone to the line for two. We mentioned he’s the Knicks best free throw shooter, 83%. He did a great job in Abu Dhabi getting to the free throw line. Fivetime NBA Allstar, number one pick overall in 2015 coming out of Kentucky. Went on to be rookie of the year for these T- Wolves. Played 10 seasons there before getting traded to the Knicks. You’ll see Clarkson and Anobi come in. Rob Dillingham into the game as well. And the foul was committed by Dier and their only rookie Mohamad Diawara. [Applause] There’s Rob Dillingham, secondyear guard. He’s got a chance to win the backup point guard job behind Mike Connley. Naz Reed catch and shoot. Front rim with a good close out from Clarkson. Clarkson. That’s Clarkson’s 14 shooting. He says, “Guys know when the ball comes to me, it’s getting in the air.” He was laughing when he said that, but that’s his reputation. Another look, we saw some great passing from him in the first two preseason games. Yeah, we saw a four assist. So this time Coper with the foul. He can get to the paint. He can kick out. Mike Brown calls them spray threes. The drive and kick three. So Edwards, we mentioned, averaged 27 points last season, five rebounds, five assists, and three and a half turnovers. You had highlighted some of the highscoring games across the NBA so far in the preseason. Well, three-point shooting hasn’t exactly carried over here today. The Timberwolves are two of seven. Knicks have missed 11 of their 12 three-point tries so far. Oh, wow. We saw Philly go one for 20. Remember in the first half I I try to forget. Edwards got his own miss off the tip. We’ll try another foul line jumper and that one goes. That’s inexplicable that the guy should get his shot back after missing a free throw. Knicks have to block out. Randle’s got the game high nine but Edwards with eight now. Brunson, McBride, Clarkson, Anobi, and Robinson. The five on the floor. Brunson drives on the young Baron Jay. finds a wide open quarter shooter, but that shot will not count because of an offensive foul on Brunson. Brunson getting some of his own medicine. Brunson among the leaders in drawing offensive fouls, but this time he’s the perfect eight spot to draft him out of Kentucky last year. He has a lot of razledazzle in his game. Good assists, man. Had nine assists the previous game. He’s still just 20 years old. That’s a feline quickness. Blocked by Robinson by the goender. Yeah, you see the speed that he has going to the hoop that time. They listed him as 6’3. He looks shorter. He is not 6’3. Yeah, right. They I’m going to say they list him as 6’3. They’ve challenged him to ramp up his defensive intensity. Deuce is 6’1 and he’s towering over it. He can be an elite scorer in the NBA Dilling. And Anobi in the corner. Three over Reed. He got it. OG in his office. It’s shortest three-pointer at 22 ft away in the corner. Defending Gilligan. Stopped on the block up and under. That one’s swatted by Robinson. Yeah, good job by Rob. Come up with it. Wanted a quick outlet, but Robinson was tangled up. T-Wolves have a foul to give if they like. You’re seeing some good defense, folks, for a preseason game. Both teams are digging in front Shannon. Good match up here. And there’s the foul. [Applause] Shannon, 25 years old, just a second year out of Illinois, played four years in college. Really impressed down the stretch last year. tried to use him more in the playoffs perhaps knowing that they wouldn’t be able to keep Reed Randall and Alexander Walker and after the foul. Brunson navigating pick and roll with Robinson steps back into three and Baron Jay tipped it ahead to McDaniels and that’ll send us to the second quarter. 21.
