The Minnesota Timberwolves rebounded from a 21-point loss to the Memphis Grizzlies last Friday to down the new look Dallas Mavericks 124-121.
The addition of Mike Conley Jr. paid dividends, as the Wolves were able to increase an early lead and hold onto it by the skin of their teeth down the stretch. Anthony Edwards left no doubt in NBA fans’ minds about his All-Star selection with a defining 32 points on 12-22 shooting.
Everyone on the Timberwolves put their brick in to earn the victory, and the most efficient bricklayer was Rudy Gobert, who played up to his potential with 21 points and 14 rebounds on a perfect 9-9 shooting from the field.
