Minnesota Timberwolves

In their ascension towards the top of the Western Conference hierarchy, the Minnesota Timberwolves, fittingly, have also found plenty of opportunities to also ascend above the rim. Owners of the NBA’s No. 1-ranked defense, the Timberwolves put on the clamps to create an opportunity in the open floor. Putting two defenders in the rearview mirror with a breathtaking spin move, Naz Reid leaves the duty of highlight No. 2 up to his teammates, allowing Nickeil Alexander-Walker to loft an alley-oop dime off the glass for Anthony Edwards to throw in for a slam. Leaving their fans with plenty to howl about, the Timberwolves cruised to a convincing win over the New Orleans Pelicans on November 8, 2023.
