Game Recap
Minnesota outlasted Memphis 117–110, a seven-point victory that landed well short of the market total. The game followed a front-loaded scoring pattern, with the first half producing 119 combined points before the pace noticeably cooled. The second half yielded just 108 combined points, with the third quarter emerging as the defensive flash point—only 52 combined points—after Q2's more explosive 64-point affair.
Anthony Edwards carried the Timberwolves to the win, posting 41 points alongside 6 rebounds and 2 assists. Julius Randle added a balanced 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Jaden McDaniels chipped in 16 points and 7 boards. Memphis, despite Jaylen Wells's 19-point effort and Cedric Coward's 15 points off the bench, couldn't sustain offensive pressure. Ty Jerome managed 14 points with 4 rebounds and 2 assists but the Grizzlies' supporting cast couldn't match Minnesota's depth.
The combined final of 227 fell 8.5 points beneath the 235.5 market total, marking a decisive move toward the under. DAGGER's pregame call on the under hit cleanly. Minnesota's recent per-game scoring average of 117.5 proved predictive; Memphis, which has averaged 119.1 in its last ten, couldn't generate enough volume against a Timberwolves defense that has allowed 114.8 per game over the same stretch.
