"Miami's offense looked encouraging to begin the game, coming out to a 29-27 first quarter advantage. However, they went completely cold as the game went on. Minnesota had a dominant 61-40 second half advantage. This was led by Anthony Edwards's game-high 26 points on 45% shooting and 5 of 8 from 3-point range. Rudy Gobert also feasted on the glass, as the Wolves' big man submitted a dominant 13 points and 17 rebounds double-double."
"After a 13-game absence, Tyler Herro recorded 17 points, 9 boards and 3 assists on 7 of 15 from the field in his 29 minutes in a bench role. Coach Erik Spoelstra opted to ease Herro back into game action and be a focal point of the second unit. He had the second-worst plus-minus on the team, as the Wolves outscored the Heat by 25 points in Herro's minutes. It's unclear if the former All-Star will remain coming off the bench moving forward."
Miami lost 122-94 to Minnesota, marking the Heat's largest defeat of the season and their second loss to the Timberwolves in four days. Miami led 29-27 after one quarter but suffered a 61-40 second-half deficit. Anthony Edwards led Minnesota with 26 points and 5-of-8 three-point shooting while Rudy Gobert posted 13 points and 17 rebounds. Norman Powell was the only Heat player to score 20 or more points. Davion Mitchell, Andrew Wiggins, Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware combined for 11-of-42 shooting. Tyler Herro returned from a 13-game absence with 17 points in 29 minutes off the bench.
