The Timberwolves maintained their authority in the fourth quarter, maintaining a double-digit lead throughout and ultimately securing a convincing victory.
However, the game was not without its challenges for the Timberwolves, as forward Jaden McDaniels suffered a right ankle injury in the first quarter and was unable to return to the game.
