Timberwolves Overcome Magic for Seventh Straight Win with Fourth-Quarter Surge

Minnesota rallied from an 11-point deficit in the final quarter, outscoring Orlando 40-24 to secure a 118-111 victory.

Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 28 points, while Donte DiVincenzo contributed key plays during a decisive 13-0 fourth-quarter run.
Paolo Banchero's 43-point performance for the Magic was overshadowed by the team's inability to maintain their lead, marking their 12th blown fourth-quarter lead this season.
Minnesota's balanced attack featured six players scoring in double figures, including Julius Randle with 22 points and Rudy Gobert with a double-double (12 points, 12 rebounds).
The loss drops Orlando to 31-37 as they remain in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament race, now 6.5 games behind the sixth seed Detroit Pistons.
The Magic face a challenging matchup against the league-best Cleveland Cavaliers next, while the Timberwolves aim to extend their streak against Utah.
