Home sweet home. After a season of long road trips and crazy travel, the [**Minnesota Timberwolves**](https://www.canishoopus.com) returned home for their first extended homestand in over a month, taking on the Orlando Magic. The Wolves now play their next five and seven of their next eight games at Target Center.
The Wolves' offense has been humming since Julius Randle returned on March 2. Randle has been playing the best basketball of his Minnesota career to this point and Friday night against the Magic was no exception.
Randle led the Wolves in first half scoring and playmaking with 17 points and 4 assists. The Wolves forward was able to get to his shot, find shooters out of the post, and made fantastic cuts for easy baskets.
The Magic were able to keep themselves in the game with some hot 3-point shooting, going 9-17 from beyond the arc in the first half. Long-range shooting has been a struggle for Orlanda the entire season. They are dead last in 3-point percentage this season at 30.8 percent. The last team to make less than 31 percent of their 3-point shots was the Timberwolves during the 2012-13 season.
The third quarter saw more of the same for Orlanda, as they made three of their six shots from deep, but Minnesota’s offense hit an oil spill. The Wolves scored just 16 points in the quarter, going 6-19 from the floor while adding in six turnovers.
The Magic were able to build their lead to as many as 11 points early in the fourth quarter before a 15-1 run by the Wolves completely turned the tide of the game.
The Wolves consistently were forcing Orlando into missed shots and turnovers on one end while reclaiming the ball movement from the first half that disappeared in the third quarter.
The Magic would recover to tie the game at 98-98 before a 5-0 scoring-burst from Anthony Edwards put the game away for the Wolves. Minnesota would go on to win 118-111 with Edwards leading the way with 28 points, four rebounds and five assists.
