2023-24 NBA Regular Season
Minnesota Timberwolves v Milwaukee Bucks
Target Center
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Saturday 24 February 2024
Tip-off at 03:00
Minnesota Timberwolves will be looking to do the double over Milwaukee Bucks this season when they clash at the Target Center on the morning of Saturday, February 24.
The Timberwolves recently routed the Bucks 129-105 in Milwaukee on February 9 which started a four-game winning streak as they moved to the top of the Western Conference.
Chris Finch's team finished the final week strongly on the road before the
NBA All-Star break and they romped to a 128-91 victory over Portland Trail Blazers on February 16.

Anthony Edwards scored a game-high 34 points against the Blazers, who were down 44-14 after the first quarter, and Finch hailed another solid defensive performance from his players, with Rudy Gobert snatching 10 rebounds inside their own D.
"It feels like we've been on the road a lot, it really has," Finch said. "But when you play defense, and you're committed to defense and the guys like to play every night, being on the road is not a daunting thing."
The Bucks haven't been at their best this month, winning just three of their nine games as Cleveland Cavaliers overtook them into second place in the Eastern Conference.
Doc Rivers has gone 3-7 since taking over the reins from Adrian Griffin on January 26 and his team suffered back-to-back defeats against Miami Heat and Memphis Grizzlies ahead of the NBA All-Star break.

Giannis Antetokounmpo registered his 43rd double-double of the season after posting 35 points and 12 assists in the 113-110 loss to the Grizzlies, but Rivers felt that some of his players had already checked out mentally for the break.
"We had some guys here, and some guys in Cabo (San Lucas)," Rivers said. "These are tough games. Yeah, it's a panic game for coaches."
