Clippers Beat Timberwolves 128-101 in Preaseason Blowout

The Clippers led almost wire-to-wire against a Timberwolves team that struggled defensively all night and couldn’t manufacture much offense after the 1^st quarter. The Clips got off to a sizzling start thanks to Danilo Gallinari, who poured in 14 points in the opening period on a variety of shots, including a couple deep threes. Every Clippers’ starter scored in the 1^st, looking very competent on offense and at least appearing solid defensively. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander notably hit a couple catch-and-shoot threes off nice passes from Gallinari and Harris, and appeared to fit in great with the rest of the Clippers’ starters.
