After the Wolves lost to Atlanta on Dec. 31, a solemn Rudy Gobert said the Wolves looked “not like a team that wants to play for a championship.” He changed his tune within three games. It is sometimes hard to recognize the turning point of a team’s season in real time.

The Miami Heat may be without multiple key players in Tuesday night’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Though the Heat have posted a 5-1 mark in their past six games, that stretch includes easy pickings against the New Orleans Pelicans and Indiana Pacers. Miami is 7-10 away from Kaseya Center this season, while Minnesota is 12-6 at Target Center.

Anthony Edwards brought the ball up the floor and attempted to get the ball to the sharpshooter, but N orman Powell – who went over the top of the off-ball screen – poked the pass away. Edwards collected the loose ball, got a ball screen from Rudy Gobert and buried a triple.

The Heat finally got guard Tyler Herro back from injury. But Herro’s return ended with a blowout loss to the Timberwolves. Herro made his return Tuesday after not playing in 11 consecutive games and also missing 13 of the last 14 games because of a right big toe contusion he sustained in the Heat’s road loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Dec. 3.

The Miami Heat are set to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in non-conference play, and the game will air on NBC6.

Julius Randle finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds for Minnesota, which outscored Miami 19-4 in the opening 4 1/2 minutes of the final quarter to turn a four-point lead into a 109-90 edge. Rudy Gobert added 13 points and 12 rebounds for the Timberwolves.

The Miami Heat move to 0-2 on the season to the Minnesota Timberwolves, as the offense hits an absolute wall against another top defense.
