Detroit Lakes, MN (KDLM) – The Minnesota Timberwolves’ five-game winning streak came to an abrupt end Saturday night at Target Center, as the Orlando Magic handed them a 119-92 defeat.

Minnesota appeared in control early, building a seven-point lead midway through the second quarter. But the offense went cold at the worst possible time — the Wolves managed just two points over the final six minutes of the first half, allowing Orlando to seize momentum and never look back.

Anthony Edwards was the lone bright spot for Minnesota, pouring in 34 points in the losing effort. Despite the setback, the Timberwolves remain in solid standing, holding third place in the Western Conference with a 40-24 record.

Minnesota will look to bounce back quickly, heading to Los Angeles on Tuesday night to face the Lakers.
