The Minnesota Timberwolves delivered a dominant 134-74 preseason victory over the visiting Guangzhou Loong Lions at the Target Center on October 14, 2025. This exhibition match saw the NBA's Timberwolves overwhelm their international opponents from the Chinese Basketball Association with superior size, speed, and athleticism. Minnesota's starters built an insurmountable lead early, allowing the bench to see extensive playing time throughout the second half. Anthony Edwards electrified the home crowd with several highlight-reel dunks, while Karl-Anthony Towns controlled the interior on both ends of the floor. For Guangzhou, the game served as a valuable learning experience against top-tier competition, though the scoreline reflected the vast gap in level between the two leagues.
