The Chris Finch-led Minnesota Timberwolves headed to Central Florida to take on the Magic in Orlando on a day when Kendrick Perkins declared the team's Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball-led backcourt the NBA's best. Ball and Edwards both threw up a ton of bricks on the night but also showcased the razzle-dazzle that has made them must-see TV so far with Minnesota, and a possible threat to the Spurs and Thunder.
“The chemistry's real baby,” an NBA on ESPN announcer proclaimed as Ball hit a corner three before celebrating, off of a smooth pass out of a double-team by Edwards.

Jaden McDaniels led the Wolves in scoring headed down the stretch of the game up by 18 points. Ball and Edwards weren't efficient on the night, but it didn't seem to matter as Finch's team bulldozed over Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero and company in Orlando.
