Myles Turner scored 16 points while Bobby Portis and AJ Green added 14 apiece. The Bucks trailed by 15 in the first half and by 11 entering the fourth quarter before trimming their deficit to 105-102, but missed two crucial game-tying 3-point attempts in the final 20 seconds. It was a frustrating loss for the Bucks who fought back late but couldn't complete the comeback.
The Bucks enter this matchup desperately needing a win to stop their losing slide. They have talented pieces led by Antetokounmpo's brilliance, but consistency has been their biggest issue. At home, they'll look to benefit from crowd support and execute better defensively. If they can get contributions from Antetokounmpo, Turner, and their supporting cast, the Bucks have the firepower to compete. However, they face a tough challenge against a confident Timberwolves team on the rise.
The Bucks on average score 113.3 points per game, they score 48.5% from the field and are ranked 4th in the league, and 39.5% from the arc and are ranked 1st in the league. The Bucks grab 40.5 rebounds per game and ranked 30th in season.

Julius Randle had 15 points and 8 rebounds, including crucial defense on Victor Wembanyama's final shot. Donte DiVincenzo added 19 points and Naz Reid contributed 17 points and 11 rebounds. The Timberwolves overcame a 19-point deficit early in the third quarter, mounting an impressive comeback. Minnesota trailed 16-0 to start the game before settling in and eventually taking control in the fourth quarter to secure the dramatic victory.
The Timberwolves come in riding strong momentum with their recent hot stretch. They have excellent two-way versatility with Edwards leading the offense and Gobert anchoring the defense. On the road, they'll need balanced scoring from multiple players and their trademark defensive intensity. If Minnesota can execute their game plan and maintain their defensive edge, they have a strong chance to extend their winning ways against a struggling Bucks team fighting to find consistency.
The Timberwolves on average score 119.9 points per game, they score 48.3% from the field and are ranked 7th in the league, and 36.9% from the arc and are ranked 7th in the league. The Timberwolves grab 44.8 rebounds per game and ranked 17th in season.
