There's a lot that can be said about the Minnesota Timberwolves' offense. They've risen to become the third-best scoring team in the NBA with an average of 120.3 points per game while ranking fourth-best in field goal percentage and 10th in assists per game. 

They benefit from having an elite squad around them with players like Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle and a rapidly rising Donte DiVincenzo, but there's intangible nature to Randle's game in particular that can help facilitate those raw scorers into the best opportunities possible for them to succeed. 

Minnesota head coach was particularly happy with that aspect of Randle's skill set after the Timberwolves' dominant 139-106 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. 

"Julius was spectacular. Playing through him tonight. His decision making was high level. I thought he played a simple, clean game too. He took on the physicality, took on the traffic but didn't overcommit. He didn't get himself in trouble. He got off it early. Played with force," Finch said (via Timberwolves). 

Randle had 29 points, eight rebounds and six assists in Tuesday's game while playing with a +23 rating in 30 minutes on the court.

His six assists were second on the team behind DiVincenzo, but Finch's praise wasn't so much directed at Randle's personal ability at passing the ball, but with the way that he dictated the team's overall ball handling and movement. 

The Timberwolves had 37 assists in Tuesday's game compared to 29 by the Bucks and it's due to Randle's experience and basketball IQ that kept the Timberwolves moving around the court and passing keenly enough to find the best looks for both himself and his teammates in the face of a Giannis Antetokounmpo-led defense. 

The Timberwolves pulled off this dominant win, their fourth-highest scoring win of the season, without Edwards in the lineup. Minnesota was also without Rudy Gobert, leaving the bulk of the team leadership responsibilities on Randle's shoulders, which he took in stride. 

Randle may have had a down year in his first season with the Timberwolves in the 2024-25 season, but his second season with the team has seen a return to dominance for him as he's lived up to being both the player and the leader that the Timberwolves were looking for. 

The Timberwolves are a young team and a talented team and with Randle taking the helm of leading the offense and helping focus that raw talent into the efficient and high-powered scoring that they've proven they can be, there will certainly be even more success for them to follow.
