TakeawaysKey statUp next

Jaden McDaniels scored 27 points, Anthony Edwards blocked Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s go-ahead shot attempt and the Minnesota Timberwolves overcame a 25-point deficit in the second half to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 131-128 in overtime on Monday night.

Naz Reid had 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 21 points for the Timberwolves. Edwards had 17 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists for Minnesota, which lost 130-123 to the Thunder on Sunday night.

Gilgeous-Alexander had 39 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, but Edwards blocked him at the rim with 13.2 seconds remaining in overtime. Gilgeous-Alexander also missed a 3-pointer with 2.9 seconds left in the extra period that would have tied the game.

Minnesota’s rally was mostly without Edwards, who played just three-and-a-half minutes in the fourth quarter. “Superman with the block,” he yelled after the game. “With a back calf.”

Jalen Williams scored 27 points and Aaron Wiggins added 19 for the Thunder, who still lead the Western Conference at 46-11.

Thunder forward Chet Holmgren, who missed three months with a pelvic fracture before recently returning, rested. Center Isaiah Hartenstein left the game in the second quarter with a bloody nose and did not return.

Oklahoma City led 82-57 in the third quarter and was ahead 102-80 going to the fourth. But reserve Terrence Shannon scored 11 of his 17 points in the period, and the Timberwolves outscored the Thunder 41-19.

The Timberwolves trailed by 3 with 18.1 seconds left when McDaniels missed a layup and put-back attempt before the ball went out of bounds. McDaniels then bounced back, driving for an and-one layup. His free throw tied the game at 121, and that was the score heading into overtime. 

McDaniels has stepped up since starting forward Julius Randle went out with a groin injury on Jan. 30. He’s averaged 18.6 points and 8.3 rebounds over the last 11 games, while shooting 48.7%.

Takeaways

Timberwolves: The Timberwolves won without center Rudy Gobert, who was out with lower back spasms.

Thunder: Oklahoma City simply missed a ton of open shots. The looks were there.

Key stat

Minnesota was the first team in NBA history to win a road game when trailing by at least 20 points entering the fourth quarter against a team with an .800 or better winning percentage, according to OptaStats.

Up next

The Timberwolves visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. The Thunder visit the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday.
