Overview
- Reid posted a season-high 22 points with 12 rebounds off the bench as Minnesota improved to 9-5.
- The Timberwolves controlled key metrics with a 59-43 rebounding edge, a 27-13 assist advantage, and 20 Dallas turnovers forced.
- Jaden McDaniels hit three third-quarter threes and finished with 15 points, Rudy Gobert added 15 and nine, and Anthony Edwards had 13 on 5-for-14 shooting.
- Dallas lacked frontcourt depth with Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Dereck Lively II (knee) out and Anthony Davis still sidelined, prompting rookie Moussa Cissé’s first start and early foul trouble.
- The Mavericks, coming off an overtime game the night before, fell to 4-11 as Cooper Flagg and Brandon Williams scored 15 each and Jaden Hardy added 17 late, with both teams back in action Wednesday (Wolves vs. Wizards; Mavs vs. Knicks).
