Sat Apr 12 00:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Timberwolves Blast Grizzlies in Record-Setting Win, Eye Playoff Clinch Against Nets

**MINNEAPOLIS, MN –** The Minnesota Timberwolves delivered a stunning performance last night, defeating the Memphis Grizzlies in a game highlighted by a record-breaking third quarter. The Wolves exploded for 52 points in the third, the highest-scoring quarter in franchise history, effectively crushing the Grizzlies’ playoff hopes. This dominant performance followed a previous loss to Milwaukee where the team squandered a large lead, making this victory all the more significant.

Anthony Edwards led the offensive charge, while other players like Jaden McDaniels, Rudy Gobert, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker contributed significantly to the team’s success. The team’s cohesive play and high-energy offense were key factors in their resounding victory. Although Memphis mounted a comeback in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves managed to hold on, securing a much-needed win.

Despite the impressive win, the team faces a crucial two-game stretch against the Brooklyn Nets (tonight, April 11th, 8 PM CDT at Target Center) and the Utah Jazz (Sunday). Victory in these games would almost guarantee the Timberwolves a playoff berth, avoiding the perilous play-in tournament. The Nets, currently struggling, present an opportunity for the Timberwolves to solidify their position, but as Wolves fans know, nothing is guaranteed.

The game will be broadcast on FanDuel Sports Network North and can be heard on the Wolves App/iHeart Radio. Fans can also watch along with the Canis Hoopus Playback stream.

The Timberwolves are looking to capitalize on this momentum and secure their playoff spot, finally laying to rest the ghosts of past collapses. A win tonight against the Nets would be a crucial step towards that goal.
