Despite their success in recent seasons, the Minnesota Timberwolves' history is not much to look at. For instance, the team has made it out of the first round of the playoffs twice in its 36-year existence.

Anthony Edwards became the Timberwolves’ franchise leader in 3-pointers at 23 years old during a 34-point day. Malone waved the white flag and went to his reserves with more than five minutes remaining.

Anthony Edwards scored 34 points with nine assists to lead Minnesota. In addition to the defeat, Nikola Jokic's streak of consecutive triple-doubles ended at five. The Nuggets center scored 20 points and dished out 11 assists, but only grabbed three rebounds.
