It took a poor second quarter and likely a motivational halftime speech, but the Wolves appear to have gotten back on track.
Following yet another gut-wrenching loss and blown fourth-quarter lead Friday, Minnesota finally exorcized its second-half demons, taking down Houston 111-90 at Target Center on Sunday evening. The Wolves led by just four at the break, but dominated the Rockets in the third and fourth quarters on both ends of the floor.
Anthony Edwards led the way with a monster 22-point third quarter that allowed the Timberwolves to pull away for good. He racked up 32 on the night to go with six rebounds, an assist, a block and a steal.
