They also had to endure the loss of Naz Reed in overtime after he was ejected by referee Scott Foster after a critical call.

Randle’s courageous basket felt like poetic justice for the Timberwolves, and the veteran forward made his true feelings known after the game, as SB Nation’s Ryan Eichten reported.

“Julius Randle is walking down the hallway to the locker room right now: ‘Scott Foster didn’t do this,'” Eichten wrote on X.

The Timberwolves were trailing by five points when Reid scored with 4:13 left in overtime.

Randle finished with 24 points, six rebounds, six assists and two steals, while Reed had 14 points, 13 rebounds, two steals and two blocks.

“We’re ready for now. It’s as simple as that,” Randall said.

“It feels good. We took care of business, especially at home. We’ve got another game against this team, so it’s important for us to get it done. I’m very proud of our team, for the resiliency we showed. Everyone stepped up and made big plays at different points in the game.”

Jaden McDaniels added 25 points, two steals and two blocks, while Rudy Gobert added 14 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks.

The Timberwolves are still without Anthony Edwards due to a knee injury.

The Minnesota Timberwolves lost to the Portland Trail Blazers 108-104 on Friday night. After the loss, head coach Chris Finch criticized Julius Randle for his effort, or lack thereof, on the glass.

According to Timberwolves reporter Dan Moore, speaking to media members on Saturday morning, Finch name-dropped Randle when he criticized his team for struggling to rebound the ball in recent games. Finch is clearly not impressed with the 31-year-old’s stellar efforts.

“We just have to get the rebound, and we can’t,” Finch said. “From the time the shot goes up, it takes a while… It’s been like that for a while. It’s not good enough… Julius has three defensive rebounds, which is not good enough. Just not good enough.”

Julius Randle finished Friday’s contest with 19 points (team high), five rebounds, four assists and one steal. He shot only 37.5% from the floor and failed to record a single three-point shot. Rudy Gobert (15 boards) and Ayo Dosunmu (10 boards) led the Timberwolves in rebounding against the Blazers.

Chris Finch, who is 56, might be right to call out the 12-year veteran for his bruising struggles. Randle is averaging a career-low 6.8 rebounds per contest this season. In fact, his rebounding numbers have decreased in every season since the 2022-23 campaign.

In 71 games played this year, Julius Randle is averaging 21.2 points, 5.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He is shooting 48.4% from the field and 31.4% from beyond the three-point line. Randle will have another chance to return as a rebounder on Sunday when the Timberwolves take on the Boston Celtics.

On Sunday afternoon, the Minnesota Timberwolves suffered their fourth consecutive loss with a road loss against the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder. Although it did not immediately derail, the Timberwolves ultimately could not keep up with their 2025 Western Conference Finals opponents, and their freefall in the playoff standings continued.

One positive side of this game was that power forward Julius Randle was able to bounce back from a recent poor shooting slump, shooting an impressive 11-18 from the field after a recent game against the Golden State Warriors in which he had to sit on the bench.

Before the game on Sunday, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch explained how he planned to help Randle get back on track.

According to John Krawzinski of The Athletic, Finch said, “I’ve got to direct the ball more to the spots where he’s really good.” “I think we’ve gone away from that at times. I think that will definitely help him. Also, we’ll have to be a little more open-minded to each other. I think that will help, too.”

After the game, Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, who spent a relatively quiet afternoon in Oklahoma City, talked about the silver lining of Randle’s bounce-back effort.

“It was a lot of fun to watch,” Edwards said. “We were just trying to get it to him as much as possible. He found his rhythm tonight, and hopefully that continues.”

Randall himself also talked about the relief he felt at being out of the recession.

“It definitely felt good to see the ball go in a little bit more today,” Randle said. “Just stay focused and consistent.”

If the Timberwolves want to continue their streak of deep playoff runs, and maybe even make it this far, Randle will have to step up his game.

The Timberwolves next play on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns.

Julius Randle had a tough performance against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Minnesota Timberwolves star forward had an uncharacteristically quiet game on Sunday night. He had 18 points in the game, but he was quiet everywhere else, too. He recorded 15 points, and what’s even more worrying is that he only had three boards and three assists.

For a player who serves as the center of attack and the lead defender, this is an unacceptable performance. Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch has an explanation for why Randle’s play was so bad today.

“Finch said Julius Randle was “pretty seriously screwed” tonight,” John Krawczynski reported on X. “Only 3 boards and 3 assists from him.”

Randle was -20 in his 31 minutes of action against the 76ers, and made only one of his five three-point attempts. The former All-Star was largely ineffective for the Timberwolves in the game, as they struggled to gain momentum. Minnesota lost to Philadelphia 135–108, despite Joel Embiid missing the game for the 76ers and star guard Anthony Edwards scoring 28 points.

The Timberwolves were also playing with key players. Star center Rudy Gobert was out against the 76ers with a suspension after committing his seventh flagrant foul a few days earlier. Meanwhile, Sixth Man of the Year contender Naz Reid is also out with injury. Philadelphia’s physicality forced the shorthanded Wolves into 21 turnovers, Randle forced two while Edwards forced seven.

“They were good physically, they’re good defensively, they’re super hands-on, they’re active in gaps,” Finch said. “We struggled in the game. We got into traffic, we didn’t get the ball early. All those things that happen when you play in a rush.”

The Wolves’ record is now 35-23. Despite the loss, losses to the remaining Western Conference contenders meant the Timberwolves were still within striking distance of the third seed and still in control of the sixth seed in the conference.

週五晚上明尼蘇達森林狼隊對陣休斯敦火箭隊的比賽中，朱利葉斯·蘭德爾擊敗了阿爾佩倫·森貢，取得了精彩表現。

蘭德爾正在經歷他在 NBA 的第 12 個年頭，也是他在森林狼隊的第二個年頭。他已經完全成為球隊僅次於安東尼·愛德華茲的第二選擇，憑藉他在攻防兩端的多才多藝為球隊提供了大量幫助。

由於愛德華茲因傷缺陣，蘭德爾在明尼蘇達對陣休斯頓的比賽中開始工作。他的一大亮點發生在第三節中段，他在弧頂拿到球，利用自己的速度和力量將先軍從他身上甩開，並以一記兇猛的雙手扣籃結束了比賽。
