Team Stats Comparison

Minnesota Timberwolves Player Stats

Ayo Dosunmu — F

The best performance of the game on either team. Dosunmu posted a triple-double — 18 points, 15 rebounds, and 12 assists — while shooting an efficient 8-of-13 from the field. He added 3 steals, 11 fast break points, and finished with a +30 plus-minus, the highest of any player in the game. His 12 assists against just 1 turnover reflected elite facilitation in a blowout situation where Minnesota wanted to keep the ball moving rather than force shots.

Julius Randle — F

Randle was Minnesota’s leading scorer with 24 points on 9-of-14 shooting, including 3-of-4 from three-point range. He added 4 assists and drew 5 fouls, making 3 of 7 from the free throw line. His 75.0% effective field goal percentage and 70.3% true shooting were the hallmarks of an efficient night that put consistent pressure on Dallas’s defense.

Anthony Edwards — G

Edwards finished with 17 points on 7-of-13 shooting, including 2-of-3 from three. He added 4 assists and generated 5 fast break points in a night where he was not required to carry the offensive load given how well the rest of the roster performed. His +29 plus-minus reflected consistent two-way impact throughout.

Bones Hyland — G (Bench)

Hyland was Minnesota’s best bench contributor with 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists off the bench. His +9 plus-minus and efficient 57.5% true shooting made him part of a bench unit that outscored Dallas’s reserves by 12 points.

Joan Beringer — F (Bench)

Beringer was perfect on the night — 3-for-3 from the field, 6 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 block in limited minutes off the bench. A 100% true shooting percentage in 3 attempts is not sustainable, but it reflected the depth Minnesota had available on a night the game was effectively over early.

Dallas Mavericks Player Stats

Daniel Gafford — C

Gafford was Dallas’s only consistent offensive performer, finishing with 21 points on a remarkable 9-of-11 shooting from the field. He added 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 12 second-chance points — the most on either team. Despite his efficiency (81.8% FG, 72.3% true shooting), the -23 plus-minus reflects how badly things went around him. Gafford was the one Mav who won his matchup on the night.

Khris Middleton — F

Middleton scored 9 points on 4-of-10 shooting but committed 5 turnovers — the most of any player in the game — in a night that summed up Dallas’s overall offensive struggles. His -24 plus-minus was the worst on the team among regular rotation players.

Dwight Powell — F (Bench)

Powell’s most productive contribution came from the free throw line — 9-of-10 from the stripe for 9 points, adding 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal. His 102.3% true shooting percentage (driven almost entirely by free throws) was the highest true shooting mark on either team.

Klay Thompson — G

Thompson had a difficult night — 1-of-8 from the field (1-of-6 from three) for just 5 points. His 1-for-8 shooting line and -9 plus-minus reflected a consistent inability to find his shot against Minnesota’s perimeter defense throughout his time on the floor.

Ryan Nembhard — G

Nembhard ran the point guard role with 5 assists and 8 points, but shot just 30% from the field and picked up a technical foul. His 5-assist performance was the most among Dallas guards on the night, reflecting his role as the primary ball handler in an offense that could not generate clean looks consistently.
