After a thrilling 113-111 victory over the Indiana Pacers last night, in which Anthony Edwards had 44 points and a breathtaking game-sealing block, the Minnesota Timberwolves were right back in action one night later against Darius Garland and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Both teams come into this matchup a bit banged up with the Cavs missing three starters, including their star guard Donovan Mitchell as well as their young forward Evan Mobley and offseason acquisition Max Strus.
For the Wolves, this was their second game without their four-time All-Star forward Karl-Anthony Towns since the announcement of his torn left meniscus, which is set to sideline him for at least a month.
