In their 2026–27 NBA preseason matchup on October 12, the Minnesota Timberwolves secured a 122–104 victory over the New York Knicks. Minnesota’s offensive strength was highlighted by Anthony Edwards, who scored 26 points including five three-pointers on eight attempts. Jaden McDaniels also contributed significantly with 22 points and four made threes on five attempts, emphasizing the Timberwolves’ effective long-range shooting.

On the Knicks’ side, Jalen Brunson led with 20 points but managed only one three-pointer on four attempts. OG Anunoby added 15 points with one three-pointer on three attempts. Both Brunson and Anunoby recorded three steals each, providing defensive contributions, yet their three-point shooting was notably less productive than Minnesota’s.

This contrast in three-point shooting efficiency was a defining feature of the game. The Timberwolves made nine three-pointers on 13 attempts, far outpacing the Knicks’ two made on seven attempts. This disparity in perimeter accuracy aligned with the final score and underscored Minnesota’s shooting advantage in this preseason encounter.
