Minnesota never fell behind and secured a lead of up to 26 points. They took charge with an 18-4 run in the second quarter, during which the Grizzlies experienced a four-minute scoreless period.

Every Minnesota player who participated in the game contributed to the score, with five players reaching double-digit points. Mike Conley’s 6-of-9 3-point shooting led to the team’s 44.1 percent shooting from beyond the arc, helping him finish with 18 points and 10 assists, the most in the game.

Karl-Anthony Towns secured 18 points on 7-of-11 field shooting and grabbed eight rebounds. Rudy Gobert contributed 13 points, and Naz Reid, coming off the bench, added 12 points and six rebounds. Kyle Anderson, Shake Milton, and Troy Brown Jr. each scored six points as substitutes.
