That’s one way to end a winning streak.

Facing an Indiana Pacers team that tipped off the game without six of their rotational players, and preceded to lose three more throughout the contest for various reasons, Minnesota delivered one of its poorest performances in recent memory to fall 132-130 in overtime Monday at Target Center.

Obi Toppin drilled his seventh triple of the night, this one falling away from the corner, to put the Pacers up with 3.5 seconds to play in the extra session.

“Big time shotmaking by them,” Wolves coach Chris Finch said, “but they seemed to feel that comfort all game.”

Julius Randle’s mid-range jumper at the horn was just short to conclude the contest.

“That’s a look that I made previously in the game and make all the time,” Randle said, “but just short.”

But the game was lost long before that. Minnesota played about six minutes of good basketball against its short-handed opponent. Entering the game as winners of eight straight, Minnesota came out lifeless against a clearly lesser foe, got down by as many as 15 points in the first half and paid the ultimate price.

“I don’t know what necessarily was going on, but our mindset from the jump wasn’t right. We’ve just got to be a little bit more professional no matter who’s on the court. They’re all good players, and we’ve got to take the game seriously,” Randle said. “We weren’t professional enough, and we gave them too much life.”

Andrew Nembhard was Indiana’s best player through two and a half quarters Monday. The guard ignited the Pacers’ offense and was Indiana’s best and only matchup for Anthony Edwards. Indiana won his 19 minutes by six points and was leading Minnesota by eight with eight minutes to play in the third quarter when Nembhard turned the corner to attack the rack.

Rudy Gobert threw a shoulder into Nembhard to halt the driving attempt. That earned the center a flagrant-2 foul and an ejection. But after the foul, Nembhard threw the ball at Gobert. That marked Nembhard’s second technical of the night, which meant he was out, as well.

Once Nembhard exited, Minnesota and Edwards started to roll, with the team going on a 21-9 run. It looked like Minnesota would pull away, but it didn’t play well enough all evening to do so.

Indiana hung around throughout the fourth quarter as the Wolves couldn’t muster any stops. Minnesota was down three in the final minute before Jaden McDaniels buried the tying triple. The Wolves then got a steal, and Edwards was fouled on the ensuing possession to put the Wolves up two.

But against an Indiana team that didn’t even have Benedict Mathurin, who fouled out with minutes to play, TJ McConnell managed to get a layup to tie the game with five seconds left, and Edwards’ attempt to win the game at the horn clanked off the iron.

Still, Minnesota looked to be in a good spot heading into overtime against a team that was missing so many bodies. And Minnesota led by as many as five points in the extra session. But every time there was an opportunity for a kill shot, the Wolves — who had endless success attacking the paint on Monday — took an ill-advised shot.

Edwards finished with 38 points, 19 of which came from the free-throw line, but was 1 for 11 from deep. The guard declined comment after the game.

“Yeah, we just didn’t play a smart game overall,” Randle said. “Everything that we did was, I feel like, self inflicted.”
