The Minnesota Timberwolves are quickly starting to catch fire. After starting the season slowly, the team is quickly becoming a dangerous roster in the Western Conference, which has landed them in the Conference Finals in back-to-back seasons.
A major reason for their success has been a balanced offensive attack, which has led to one of the best units in the entire league, and a winning stretch has followed. As a result, the vibes in the locker room and the building are electric, as evidenced by the presence of Kyden Randle, the firstborn of superstar Julius Randle, celebrating in the crowd.

After starting 4-4, Minnesota has gone on a blistering run to win six of its last seven, even as Anthony Edwards has missed a bunch of time in the middle of the year. Their latest victory came against the Washington Wizards.
Soundly defeating them 120-109, it was another excellent offensive night for a team that has the fourth-highest offensive rating in the entire NBA. Ranked in the top-6 in both shooting percentage from the field and from 3-point range, their efficiency has been their biggest calling card.
On the team, the best shooter, when factoring in volume, has been Donte DiVincenzo. Attempting 7.6 shots from distance per game, he is knocking them down at an absurd 39.5% clip.
A consistently excellent shooter since his lone season with the Golden State Warriors, it was a triple from the left corner by DiVincenzo that led to an adorable scene unfolding on the court.

As he knocked down the triple, cameras caught the young Randle in the crowd behind him. Immediately getting up off his feet, the eight-year-old shared in the sharpshooter’s patented three-point celebration, with three fingers to the ground, and three fingers pointing to his veins.
His father, Randle, though, was the overall star of the show. Tallying 32 points and 10 rebounds, the former New York Knicks superstar is getting increasingly more comfortable in the offensive flow of the Timberwolves.
After arguably the best playoff run of his career last season, he has truly elevated into a 1A-1B role alongside Anthony Edwards, with both players averaging over 25 points per game this season.
Randle, surprisingly enough, has been the more efficient of the two at 52.4% from the field and 37% from 3-point land, while also adding 7.5 rebounds and a career-high 6.1 assists per game.
