Coach Chris Finch's Minnesota Timberwolves hit the road to face off against the New Orleans Pelicans in a game that became a showcase for recently extended guard Jaden McDaniels. Ayo Dosunmu got the start at guard after making a NSFW Anthony Edwards confession.

The Wolves' athletic backcourt feasted as McDaniels set the tone with a huge slam dunk against Pels big man Derik Queen in the second quarter. McDaniels drove the right baseline and flushed home a dunk that deflated the hometown team and gave Wolves fans a lot to cheer about.
