Richardson, coming off a season-high 31 points, was strong early against Minnesota but sat out the fourth quarter.
The Magic didn't need him, though, hitting 12 of 30 3-pointers for the game and with all five starters reaching double figures. Orlando have won two of their last three games and earned their seventh straight victory over the Timberwolves.
Kevin Love led Minnesota with 19 points and 15 rebounds, and Nikola Pekovic added 16 points and 13 rebounds.
Minnesota lost their fourth straight game, with their next opportunity to stop the skid coming Wednesday when they host Charlotte.
