MINNEAPOLIS — Julius Randle walked out onto the Target Center court for pregame warmups and looked around the arena. It felt … different. Cooler, sharper, more cinematic. “I t just made it seem like we were playing in a movie when we were out there,” Randle said.

Anthony Edwards will likely miss two weeks with a strained right hamstring, a team source confirmed to The Athletic.

His absence leaves a massive hole in Minnesota's offense.
