The Minnesota Timberwolves turned what was expected to be a routine Sunday night matchup in Sacramento into an unforgettable display of dominance. For the 15,227 fans inside the Golden 1 Center, and for the Kings themselves, the night quickly shifted from ordinary to extraordinary.
The final score—144-117—felt both stunning and, by the end, inevitable. This was not merely a win for Minnesota; it was a declaration. The Timberwolves not only defeated Sacramento, they broke them down with precision and intensity, controlling every moment of the game.
From the first possession to the closing buzzer, Minnesota played with an energy that the Kings could not match. What began as a competitive back-and-forth in the first quarter soon turned into a one-sided spectacle once the Timberwolves found their rhythm.
The turning point arrived in the second quarter, when Anthony Edwards completely changed the game’s momentum. Known across the league as “Ant-Man,” Edwards unleashed a performance that electrified the arena and silenced any doubts about his superstar status.
“Ant-Man decided it was his time to take over,”
And take over he did. With the clock winding down, Edwards sank a deep three-pointer, the ball sliding through the net with flawless precision. That moment sealed the narrative: Minnesota had come to make a statement and left no doubt who owned the night.
