The Timberwolves might be finding their rhythm. Not only did Tuesday’s 122-94 win over Miami mark Minnesota’s third straight victory, it was also the team’s third straight strong performance. Minnesota was locked in defensively from the jump and overcame a slow shooting start to run away from the Heat in the second half. Minnesota has now beaten Miami, the Wizards and Miami again in a span of four days. The latter two victories have been blowouts. Everything about Tuesday’s performance was crisp, from taking care of the ball to attacking the paint offensively while getting back in transition, rotating and competing on the defensive end. Miami (20-17) shot just 36% from the field in the loss, and struggled to generate quality looks. Minnesota (24-13), meanwhile, played good offense for the final three and a half quarters. And once the 3-pointers started to fall — particularly for Donte DiVincenzo, who broke out of a slump by hitting four of his final five attempts of the evening — the Wolves were able to put space between themselves and the Heat in short order. Rudy Gobert finished with 13 points and 17 rebounds, while Anthony Edwards led the charge on all fronts while scoring 26 points. How good can Minnesota be when it plays at this level? “A championship team,” Gobert said on the floor after the game.
