Randle’s production has slipped this season, but much of that seems like it could be logically explained by his role reducing in size in the move from New York to Minneapolis. He is averaging slightly fewer minutes and fewer points, rebounds, and assists in his first season with the Wolves.</p><p>Some have elected to blame Anthony Edwards, the team’s best player, for the early-season struggles. Edwards has made a concerted effort to become a perimeter-based scorer this season, which is evident by the numbers; his three-point percentage is way up, to a career-high 41.4%, but his field goal percentage is down to 44.4%. Additionally, he is shooting the lowest percentage on two-point shots of his career (47.3%).</p><p>Regardless of whose fault it is for the Timberwolves’ .500 record and 10th-place standing in the Western Conference, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-chris-finch-possible-change-losing-skid">the entire team will need to figure out</a> its issues before it’s too late. Only two games separate Minnesota and the 12th-place Sacramento Kings, who, like the 11th-place Phoenix Suns are currently on the outside looking in for the Play-In if the season were to end today.</p><p>The schedule does not really lighten up for the Timberwolves coming up either. Minnesota plays Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks tomorrow in a rematch of the Western Conference Finals earlier this year before finishing up a Texas road trip in Houston vs. the Rockets, one of the best teams in the NBA by record this season. Minnesota also has games with Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs, the first-seed Oklahoma City Thunder, and defending NBA champion Boston Celtics coming up in the next 10 days.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

We just gotta start coming out on the other side.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-julius-randle-jae-crowder-longstanding-beef">The Timberwolves are</a> 11th in a stacked Western Conference and recently snapped their four-game losing streak with a 93-92 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday in the NBA Cup Group stage. Randle came over with Donte DiVincenzo in a blockbuster trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks. DiVincenzo has struggled to this point, while Randle is shooting at a better rate in comparison to last year with the Knicks. Given that the team executed the trade just before the season started, it is not a huge surprise to see that it is taking a while for the pieces to fit together.</p><p>Randle is right <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-julius-randle-anthony-edwards-blast-jae-crowder-leaked-nsfw-trash-talk">that the Timberwolves</a> have not been getting blown out. Three of the losses during the four-game losing streak were single-digit margins, and the loss to the Sacramento Kings was by 11 points. Going back further, Minnesota suffered a handful of other close losses as well. It should be encouraging for Timberwolves fans that Randle and the team are remaining optimistic, knowing that a few tweaks could result in them going on a run and getting better results.</p><h2><b>Timberwolves prepare for tough December stretch</b></h2><p>When it comes to the Timberwolves potentially rebounding, they will have to do so against quality opponents. December features a bunch of formidable opponents, as Minnesota will play both Los Angeles teams coming up. They also play the Golden State Warriors three times this calendar month, with Towns making his return to Minnesota with the Knicks as well. There are also matchups with the Mavericks, Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder as well.</p><p>The Timberwolves still have the goal of competing at the top this season, but it remains to be seen if they can do so in this iteration. December will be very telling.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Minnesota lost to Dallas in five games, and expectations were high heading into this season.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/karl-anthony-towns-first-bucket-with-knicks-after-timberwolves-trade">Timberwolves traded Karl-Anthony Towns</a> before the year started to the Knicks. In return, Minnesota got Randle who was coming off an injury-riddled campaign. This season, Randle is doing his best to stay healthy. He averages 21 points and about seven rebounds a game for a team trying to get on the same page with chemistry.</p><p>In recent NBA Cup play, the Timberwolves finished just 2-2. Minnesota is now third in the Western Conference Northwest division standings, trailing both the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets.</p><p>Minnesota snapped a four-game losing streak by defeating the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night. The club next plays the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday. Minnesota has lost seven of its last 10 contests.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Before Timberwolves All-Star <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-anthony-edwards-goes-off-collapse-kings">Anthony Edwards went off after his team collapsed</a> in a 115-104 loss to the Kings, Randle and Crowder rehashed their longstanding beef on the floor.</p><p>Stemming from Crowder’s time with the Phoenix Suns in 2021, Randle’s been getting into it with the rugged wing defender for over three years as the two picked up right where they left off on Wednesday. Randle gave Crowder an earful at the free-throw line at one point before Jae got the last laugh in the winding seconds of the Kings’ win.</p><p>Crowder eagerly clapped in Randle’s face, challenging Randle to make one final play as he passed the ball back to Edwards to dribble out the clock.

His best years are likely behind him, including averaging 14.2 points and shooting at a 39.8% clip from deep, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 2016-17. However, the 34-year-old wing defender was called upon Sacramento following DeMar DeRozan’s back injury, joining forwards Isaiah Crawford and Trey Lyles on the Kings’ injured reserved list.</p><p>Jae Crowder made two consecutive trips to the NBA Finals, in 2020 with the Miami Heat and in 2021 with the Suns.

He went on to say that the team is “growing apart” and “can’t talk to each other anymore.” He then expanded on his front-runner comment.</p><p>“We got up and everybody cheering and f*****g hype,” Edwards said, per Hine. “We get down again and don’t nobody say nothing. That’s the definition of a frontrunner. We as a team, including myself, we all was frontrunners tonight. It was some bull****, for sure.”</p><p>The Timberwolves will host the Clippers in an NBA Cup matchup on Friday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
