The Timberwolves have played a number of impressive halves of basketball this season.

Tuesday’s first half in Orlando may take the cake.

Minnesota was dominant in every facet of the game en route to building a 67-37 halftime advantage on its way to a 113-92 win in Orlando, Fla.

Karl-Anthony Towns played perhaps his best game of the season, tallying 28 points, six rebounds and five assists. And Rudy Gobert tacked on 21 points, 12 boards and three blocks as Minnesota’s twin tower look dominated the game on the interior in ways in which it has not done nearly enough.

Even Naz Reid had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds as Minnesota simply out-sized Orlando, who only had 10 available players but still had performed well of late with a banged-up roster.

The Wolves (26-10) punched out the Magic early. They scored the game’s first 10 points and led by 17 after one, as Gobert asserted himself on the interior after failing to do so in a loss Sunday in Dallas.

“We really wanted to come in and set the tone — defensively and offensively. Move the ball and be aggressive,” Gobert said in his postgame, on-court interview. “I thought we did a great job throughout the game.”

Minnesota suffocated Orlando (21-16) on the defensive end. The Magic shot just 36 percent from the field, marking the seventh time this season Minnesota has held an opponent below 100 points on less than 40 percent shooting. Orlando’s lone offensive bright spot was St. Paul product Jalen Suggs, who had 20 points on 8-for-14 shooting.

Minnesota looked like the dominant defense it consistently was over the first 20 games of the campaign.

“We talked at shootaround today about how we’ve gotten loose. We’d relied too much on Rudy,” Timberwolves coach Chris Finch told reporters. “Then we just kind of lost our presence. It’s one of those slippage things. It happens. So just committing to being early in our spot, trusting our rotation. We’re a really good rotation team. I really believe we are and always have felt that. We just don’t force teams to as much as we probably should, or have been doing. So that’s one of the things we have to try to get back to.”

Jaden McDaniels put forth one of his best performances, grabbing nine boards — which tied for his season high and marked just his second performance this season in which he tallied more than five rebounds — while flustering Magic star forward Paolo Banchero. Banchero, a likely all-star this season, finished with just 18 points while going 8 for 22 from the floor.

“It’s contagious. When he does that, it affects everybody. It’s very unique, him being able to completely affect the game like he does,” Gobert said. “He’s a huge reason why we won tonight. Now we’ve got to find a way to do that every single night. Me being aggressive on the ball, him doing that, Ant, Mike, KAT. When we all do that and we start the game that way, usually it’s a win for us.”

Like Banchero, Minnesota’s leading scorer equally struggled. Anthony Edwards dealt with foul trouble in the first half for the second consecutive game, and finished with nearly as many turnovers (5) as points (6). But the Wolves didn’t need the star guard’s production on Tuesday.

When Edwards was sidelined, the ball went into the hands of Mike Conley. The veteran floor general finished with 11 points and 10 assists. Minnesota moved to 7-1 over the last three seasons in games in which Edwards scored six or fewer points.

As a team, the Wolves moved the ball with fluidity, tallying 34 assists while shooting 54 percent from the field and 40 percent from distance.

“I’m a big believer that when the ball moves, guys shoot better, for sure. And that’s what we saw tonight. We have a good shooting team. We have some streaky guys. But those guys tend to shoot better when the ball moves,” Finch said. “And again, I think it’s just taking what the game is giving us. Good to see them go in, but I think it’s a result of guys willing to make the next play for each other.”

Still, Minnesota will certainly need more from Edwards on Wednesday if the Wolves are to upend Boston — the best team in the NBA — in Boston on the second half of a back to back to close out the team’s four-game road trip.

“It’s a big game,” Gobert said. “It’s a great opportunity for us to test ourselves against a very good team.”
