Nic Claxton had 18 points for Brooklyn and Dariq Whitehead scored 17.

Key moment The Timberwolves took the lead with 8:26 left in the second quarter and never looked back. Edwards led his team in scoring with 15 points in the first half to help put them up 49-37 at the break.

Key stat The Timberwolves shot 31.0% — 13 of 42 — from 3-point range, led by Edwards' 5 of 10.
