The Timberwolves Defeated New Orleans (121-120) To Become 1st Place In The Western Conference At (9-3)

by Travis Singleton | Nov 18, 2023 | Featured, Minnesota Timberwolves, NBA

The New Orleans pelicans came in today’s game, knowing that they would be playing without CJ, McCollum and Zion Williamson who was out with rest for tonight’s matchup.

That didn’t matter as the pelicans still had Brandon Ingram, who has been lights out so far in the NBA season. Ingraham was able to set the time for the New Orleans pelicans tonight on the scoring end. Brandon Ingram made some tough shots with Jaden McDaniels and Anthony Edwards draped all over him. Brandon Ingram is a professional score and he was able to get to a spot tonight against the Timberwolves as he finished with 30 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. Brandon Ingram was able to get some of the best defenders on the Timberwolves in foul trouble tonight which kept the game very close overall in the Pelicans favor.

Jonas Valanciunas had a huge night inside the paint as he finished with 26 points and 11 rebounds. Jonas had to step up and help Brandon Ingram tonight as they were shorthanded, and it almost worked out for the pelicans. Inside the pelicans, we’re trying to make a tough on Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns but in the end, the Timberwolves were too much to handle.

Karl-Anthony Towns showed up in a major way tonight when Anthony Edwards got in foul trouble. Karl-Anthony Towns had his game working inside and outside as he continues to prove why he’s the best shooting big man in the entire NBA. Karl-Anthony Towns has put the Minnesota Timberwolves on his back during the in season tournament and that has led this team to a (9-3) start.

The New Orleans Pelicans had no answers for Karl-Anthony Towns inside the paint or outside as he was able to exploit the mismatches when Daniel’s or Jones were on him. The Timberwolves trailed by 15 points tonight and were able to claw back on the strength of their defense. Rudy Gobert made it tough for people going inside the paint tonight and he was able to finish with 17 points and 11 rebounds. It’s safe to say that Rudy Gobert loves to play the New Orleans Pelicans. Anthony Edwards finish the game with 23 points fouled out guarding Brandon Ingram.

this game came down to 10 seconds, where Karl-Anthony Towns had to play drawing up for him and he delivered. Towns got the mismatch that he wanted and was able to drive to the basket and kiss it off the glass. We Karl-Anthony Towns plays at this elite level it is hard for anyone to stop him or this Timberwolves team. Up next, the Timberwolves will be playing at home against the New York Knicks as they try to go (10-3) on the season.

The Minnesota Timberwolves came in today’s game against the San Antonio Spurs on a four game winning streak. The only thing is the Minnesota Timberwolves have not won a game on the road yet all season. Tonight in San Antonio they wanted to change that.

The Minnesota Timberwolves would have their hands full going up against a Victor Wembanyama tonight. The rookie was sensational all night and made it tough on the Timberwolves defense. Victor was hitting shots inside and outside and was catching alleyoops in transition that only he could catch. This is a true generational talent, and he put that on full display in the San Antonio Spurs first and season tournament game. Victor Wembanyama finished with 29 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks.

To do all of that against the number one defense in the NBA that is extremely impressive. Nothing but a mutual respect for both teams and coaches, but they had to be a winner. Devin Vassell finished with 29 points of his own as he was able to knock down a lot of timely three point jumpers to keep the San Antonio Spurs within. rafter the third quarter. This Spurs team is young but the future is bright in San Antonio with the young core.

Karl-Anthony Towns set the tone tonight for the Minnesota Timberwolves as he was a man among boys in the paint. It didn’t matter if it was inside or outside towns was able to get to whatever spot he wanted to do with these. The good thing about this Timberwolves team is the fact that could be anybody’s night just like that. Last game it was Rudy Gobert on the boards and dominating the paint them tonight against San Antonio was KAT. Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 29 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 assists on the night as he was amazing. The Spurs had Keldon Johnson guarding KAT majority of the game and he found the mouse in the house. Karl-Anthony Towns has been explosive this season, and he’s primed for one of those all star like seasons, if he continues to play like this.

Anthony Edwards finished with 28 points against the Spurs tonight. Every time you looked up Ant was being aggressive and was able to get to the free throw line. Edwards is one of the best players in the NBA and was able to show the young Spurs what all the hype is about surrounding him. Anthony Edwards has that smooth fadeaway and his handles are just as smooth but both can switch up in the quickness on movements.

Edwards even hit a couple of jumpers on Wemby which was very impressive knowing his length. One thing about Ant is that he was going to make sure he puts his team/teammates in a position to be successful every time.The growth that we’ve seen from Ant in a short amount of time this season has been special to watch. The Spurs just ran into a Timberwolves team that has been clicking on all cylinders.

The Timberwolves were able to hold on to the win and it was special to see this team gel the way that they did. Up Next, the Minnesota Timberwolves will be playing the Golden State Warriors out there in the Bay Area in a back to back matchup that should give the Minnesota Timberwolves a true test as they will try to defend Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.
