Game Preview
The Minnesota Timberwolves (26-10) play the Boston Celtics (28-8) at TD Garden on January 10 to cap out a four-game road trip.
After defeating the Magic 113-92 on the road in their last game, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been playing well; they have taken 4 of their last 7 contests overall. They will be keen to continue their winning ways. Rudy Gobert contributed 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 blocks, followed by Jaden McDaniels‘ 15 points and 9 rebounds, as Karl-Anthony Towns topped the squad with 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. The Timberwolves dominated the Magic from the beginning and ended the game early, outperforming them 67-37 in the 1st half. As a team, they hit 53% from the field and 12 of 30 from three points. It is quite challenging for teams to match Minnesota’s size and length in the frontcourt. The Timberwolves are ranked first in defensive efficiency and 18th in offensive efficiency and they play in the competition with the 21st-fastest tempo.
The Boston Celtics, on the other hand, have been playing excellently, having won 8 of their previous ten matches overall. However, they will be looking to get back to their previous winning ways here after losing 133-131 on the road to the Pacers in their last game. Having 40 points on 17 of 26 shots, Jaylen Brown topped the team. Jrue Holiday followed with 21 points and 6 assists, and Kristaps Porzingis scored 19 points and 7 assists. The Celtics appeared to be in charge after scoring 68 points in the first half to take an 11-point lead, shooting 52% from the field and 17 of 35 from three. However, they let up an unusual 44 points in the third quarter before losing with only 0.1 seconds left. Boston’s depth allows them to fill in for one or two rotational absences, but they hope they need to use it.
