They were strong for the entire game, but especially in the third quarter, when they quite literally outdid the rest of the NBA.
On X, the league noted that the Timberwolves scored 52 points in the third, going 18-of-21 from the field and 7-of-8 from the three-point line.
That is the most points by any team in any quarter this entire season.

52 PTSWho was contributing to this offensive onslaught in the third quarter?
Basically, everyone in a Timberwolves jersey.
Anthony Edwards did the most with his 18 points, while Julius Randle was solid with 14.
Meanwhile, Rudy Gobert had nine points, and Mike Conley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Donte DiVincenzo had three.
Finally, Jaden McDaniels chipped in with his two points.
The entire team had a strong quarter, and it helped them get a solid handle on the game and led to their win.
Minnesota has won six of their last seven games, including the cinematic double-overtime match against the Denver Nuggets last week.
They have been looking much better lately, just in time for the playoffs.
Their final two games of the regular season are against the Brooklyn Nets and then the Utah Jazz.
What are the chances of them being able to end the season on a three-game winning streak?
The energy they showed in the third quarter is the exact sort of spirit they need to take into these last two games, as well as the playoffs.
They are currently the eighth team in the West, which means they may need to fight through the Play-In to reach the postseason.
Fight is exactly what they showed on Thursday, especially in the third quarter.
