T-Wolves beat Celtics in Boston for 1st time since 2005

Both teams grappled with shooting woes throughout the opening phases of the contest, particularly from beyond the arc. The Celtics started the game by missing eight of their first nine three-point attempts, highlighting an uncharacteristic lack of rhythm. Minnesota faced similar challenges early on, shooting just 1-for-7 from deep in the first half. These struggles contributed to the low-scoring, defensive-minded nature of the early game. It was only when both teams managed to generate high-percentage looks and capitalize on defensive lapses in transition that the scoring pace finally accelerated in the final period.
