The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Indiana Pacers 124–104 on April 7 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, with Anfernee Dosunmu leading the visitors with 24 points and Julius Randle adding 19 in a dominant road performance. Minnesota's offense proved too efficient, shooting 51.7 percent from the field and draining 17 three-pointers while generating 27 assists on 124 points, translating to a 119.2 offensive rating. The Timberwolves' suffocating defense held Indiana to just 47.9 percent shooting and a 100.3 offensive rating, forcing 22 turnovers and recording 16 steals. The decisive third quarter told the story: Minnesota outscored Indiana 39–24 in that frame to seize control after a competitive first half. E. Thompson's 17 points led Indiana's limited offensive output, while the Pacers' 11 steals couldn't overcome their turnover woes and defensive breakdowns. The final margin of 20 points came well below the 234.5-point Vegas total, reflecting Minnesota's defensive intensity. The win underscores the Timberwolves' playoff credentials heading down the stretch.
