Timberwolves clawing back

Minnesota has pulled within five with just about a minute left in Boston. Edwards has 28 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists to lead the way for his team. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have 29 and 26 points respectively for their squad.

Fastbreak➡️Obi

Moses Brown knocks the ball loose in the paint, Tyrese Haliburton picks it up and feeds a perfect bounce pass to Obi Toppin for the two-handed jam in transition.

The Wizards and Pacers are in a tight one early, with Washington holding the 24-23 advantage late in the first. Myles Turner picked up two quick fouls, but Brown has stepped in as a pivotal differencemaker with 11 points and three rebounds in just seven minutes thus far.

Let the rook cook

Rob Dillingham is heating up and gets two of his 14 points on this drive past Horford and lay-in at the rim.

Dillingham has helped spark a run that has seen Minnesota pull within seven, and now trail just 95-88 halfway through the fourth.

Swipe to a three in transition

Derrick White deflects the pass to himself, then feeds Jrue Holiday, who dumps it off to Jayson Tatum for the long-range find.

The Celtics are cooking in the third quarter, outscoring the Timberwolves by 14, to expand their lead to 79-62. The Tatum and Jaylen Brown duo are on fire with 24 and 20 points respectively and a combined 11-18 from three.

Dallas is rolling, winning four in a row, two of which have come without Luka Dončić, who remains out with a wrist injury. They’ll be working to keep that momentum going in Miami for their second game of a three-game road trip. 

Like the Mavericks, the Clippers are cooking and winners of four straight, including victories over equally hot teams, the Warriors and Magic. They’ll host the 76ers, who will be without Joel Embiid and Paul George due to knee injuries. However, they’ll still have Tyrese Maxey and a red-hot Jared McCain, who is off to a blazing start in his NBA career and currently sits atop the
