Nice drive from Jaylen Nowell to create the bucket. The Wolves have sorely missed his juice, even though he’s had a rough season shooting it. – 8:13 PM

Kyle Anderson made 36 3-point shots last season on 109 attempts (33.0%).
Anderson just made his 36th 3 of this season on his 85th attempt (42.4%).
Anderson is taking 2.4 3s per 100 possessions this year after taking 3.5 per 100 last year. Toned down the volume, added efficiency – 8:11 PM

Timberwolves lead the Knicks 42-32 after one quarter. Wolves finish the quarter 16-22, 6-8 from 3-point range. Randle got the crowd back into it with that monster slam and almost hitting a halfcourt heave at the end of the quarter. – 8:08 PM

Anthony Edwards was in the locker room pre-game, no boot on. Was not in workout clothes or practice uniform. Was joking (or maybe not joking) that he was looking for head equipment manager Peter Warden to get him his jersey. – 6:48 PM
