Anthony Edwards scored 26 points as the Minnesota Timberwolves matched a season high with 22 3-pointers in a 123-111 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday at Target Center.
Jaden McDaniels added 21 points, going 5 of 5 from beyond the arc, while Naz Reid contributed 18 off the bench, hitting four 3-pointers.
The Timberwolves shot 46.8% from 3-point range, equaling the second-most triples allowed by the Thunder this season. Minnesota improved to three straight wins after snapping a five-game losing streak.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led Oklahoma City with 30 points, and Chet Holmgren scored 15. Isaiah Hartenstein returned from a 16-game absence to post 11 points, but the Thunder were outrebounded 46-36.
Minnesota played without veteran point guard Mike Conley, giving Bones Hyland extended minutes; he scored nine points in 23 minutes.
The Timberwolves converted 16 turnovers into 30 points, offsetting their own 20 giveaways. Early shooting from deep helped Minnesota open a 14-point lead after the first quarter, with Edwards scoring 12 points in the period.
Oklahoma City cut the deficit to 13 at 105-92 following a series of Timberwolves turnovers, but a Donte DiVincenzo 3-pointer halted the run, and both teams emptied their benches in the closing minutes.
Minnesota moves to 30-19 and faces the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday, while Oklahoma City falls to 38-11 and plays at Denver on Sunday.
