Bones Hyland scored 24 points off the bench on 7-for-10 shooting, and the Minnesota Timberwolves routed the Dallas Mavericks 133-94 on Thursday night at Target Center for their fifth straight win, their largest victory margin of the season.

Minnesota won again without star guard Anthony Edwards, who remains out following knee surgery. LaMelo Ball added 22 points with six 3-pointers and a season-high nine assists, Ayo Dosunmu scored 18, Jaden McDaniels had 16 points and nine rebounds, and Jonathan Kuminga contributed 14 points and eight rebounds.

The Timberwolves led 34-26 after the first quarter and 67-52 at halftime after Dallas had cut the deficit to 43-42 midway through the second, closing the half on a 24-10 run. Minnesota then started the third quarter on a 17-4 run, capped by Ball finding Rudy Gobert for an alley-oop dunk that made it 84-56, and outscored Dallas 36-17 in the period to take a 103-69 lead into the fourth. Rookie Isaiah Evans gave Minnesota its largest lead at 44 points, 129-85, with a finger-roll layup with 2:47 remaining.

Minnesota shot 57.8 percent from the field (52 of 90) and 46.9 percent from 3-point range (15 of 32), dominated the paint 74-42 and finished with five scorers in double figures.

Zaccharie Risacher led Dallas with 22 points off the bench and Naji Marshall added 13, but the Mavericks shot just 37.2 percent overall and 27.1 percent from 3-point range. Cooper Flagg, who had scored 43 points against Indiana in his previous outing, was held to 12 points and seven rebounds, and Kyrie Irving scored 10 as Dallas saw its three-game winning streak end and fell to 7-5.

Minnesota, now 9-3, hosts Chicago on Saturday. Dallas plays at Cleveland on Saturday.
