Anthony Edwards Scores 33 as Timberwolves Extend Winning Streak With 131 to 114 Win Over Grizzlies

MEMPHIS -- Minnesota continued one of the league’s strongest recent stretches Saturday night as Anthony Edwards scored 33 points to lead the Timberwolves to a 131 to 114 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, marking Minnesota’s fourth straight victory and Memphis’s sixth consecutive loss.

The latest breaking update reinforced Minnesota’s growing momentum. Julius Randle added 27 points and seven assists, providing secondary scoring and playmaking as the Timberwolves controlled the game from the opening quarter. Minnesota has now won all four games during its streak by double digits, including a wire to wire victory over defending champion Oklahoma City earlier in the week.

Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels scored 20 points each, with Reid adding nine rebounds. Rudy Gobert anchored the interior with 16 rebounds and two blocks, continuing his impact on the defensive end during Minnesota’s recent surge. The Timberwolves shot efficiently throughout the night and capitalized on Memphis scoring droughts, particularly during a decisive third quarter.

Memphis received a boost with the season debut of Ty Jerome, who returned after missing time with a right calf strain. Jerome led the Grizzlies with 20 points and six assists in his first appearance of the season. GG Jackson scored 19 points and Jaylen Wells added 15, but the Grizzlies struggled to generate consistent offense without several rotation players available.

The timeline of the game shifted sharply in the third quarter. Minnesota extended a 58 to 49 halftime lead to 92 to 73 as it opened the half by making 12 of its first 16 field goal attempts. Memphis, which missed 17 of its first 18 three point attempts in the opening half, was unable to close the gap as Minnesota entered the fourth quarter ahead 97 to 79.

The impact of injuries and roster uncertainty continues to shape Memphis’s outlook. Ja Morant was among seven rotation players unavailable Saturday, and league wide attention remains focused on reports that Memphis is open to trade discussions involving Morant ahead of the upcoming deadline. Those factors have placed increased responsibility on younger players and recent additions, including Jerome, who was signed as a free agent last offseason.

What this means moving forward is clear for both teams. Minnesota is strengthening its position in the Western Conference standings with balanced scoring and defensive consistency, while Memphis remains in evaluation mode as it navigates injuries and roster decisions.

The next steps come quickly, as the teams are scheduled to meet again Monday night in Memphis, offering the Grizzlies an immediate opportunity to respond.
