The team's statistics reveal a well-rounded offensive strategy, boasting an effective field goal percentage of 57 percent and converting on 39 percent of their three-point attempts. Their defensive efforts are equally commendable; they held their opponents to just over one point per possession while maintaining an offensive rating that exceeds this figure significantly.


Minnesota's bench has been contributing significantly, adding depth to the team's scoring capabilities. In the last game alone, bench players contributed a substantial 42 points. Additionally, the Timberwolves have demonstrated efficiency both in scoring within the paint and from fast-break opportunities – areas they will likely exploit against Denver.
