Other important Timberwolves players faltered while Edwards and Julius Randle, who scored 21 points, displayed their abilities. Jaden McDaniels and Donte DiVincenzo both only made one basket, going 1 for 7, while Naz Reid had a difficult game, shooting only 2 for 12 off the bench. Minnesota’s hopes were further hampered by the absence of Rudy Gobert in the third quarter, who was disqualified for a flagrant foul after scoring 15 points and grabbing eight rebounds.
