Despite low output from Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves dominate glass and roll Magic 115-93

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels each scored 15 points to help the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Orlando Magic 115-93 on Friday night.

Rudy Gobert added 14 points and nine rebounds for the Timberwolves (2-0), off to their best start since winning their first two games five years ago.

Wendell Carter Jr. had 20 points and nine boards for the Magic (0-2), who held Edwards largely in check throughout the game.

Fresh off a 45-point effort at Miami Wednesday, Edwards nailed a 3 for his first points but then missed his next 10 field goals. He finished just 5 of 23 from the floor, including 2 for 9 from 3-point range.

But the Timberwolves didn’t need him. They hammered the Magic on the glass, outrebounding Orlando 60-43. Minnesota posted a 21-8 advantage on the offensive boards, which led to 17 second-chance points, and held the Magic without an offensive rebound over the game’s first 19 minutes.

Minnesota, which never trailed, put the game away in the third quarter, outscoring the Magic 29-15 to build a 26-point lead. As a result, head coach Chris Finch was able to rest most of his starters, including guard LaMelo Ball, over the bulk of the fourth quarter.

The Timberwolves never trailed and held Orlando to just seven points off seven turnovers, capitalizing on the Magic’s poor shooting. Orlando shot just 44% from the field, including a dismal 20.5% beyond the arc.

Orlando’s Franz Wagner (1 for 6), Desmond Bane (1 for 9) were a combined 2 for 15 from 3-point range. Wagner still added 18 points.

Paolo Banchero, who sat out the fourth quarter with right ankle soreness, had 14 points and six rebounds.

BERLIN (AP) — A fire broke out at the retreat built for Adolf Hitler in the Bavarian Alps known as the Eagle's Nest, and work to extinguish it was still in progress Saturday, police said. A person was detained in connection with the blaze.

A fire alarm at the building in the Berchtesgaden district in Germany's southeastern corner went off at about 9:15 p.m. on Friday, police said in a statement. Firefighters who went to the scene could see the flames as they approached the site, on a cliff 1,834 meters (6,017 feet) above sea level.

Getting fire engines to the site proved difficult because of its location, and work was still ongoing to put out the fire on Saturday morning, police said. The building and its immediate surroundings could only be accessed with respiratory protection equipment.

Firefighters found no one in the building and authorities believe at present that no one was injured.

Police said a person was detained as a possible suspect, but it has yet to be determined whether they had anything to do with the fire.

The building, the Kehlsteinhaus, was completed in 1938 and is reachable by an elevator from the end of a winding road up the mountain, which is closed to public traffic but used by buses for visitors.

It has been operated as a cafe and restaurant since 1952 and contains an exhibition on its history.
