Andrew Wiggins coming off six-assist game for the Timberwolves

In Saturday's victory in Washington, without Karl-Anthony Towns in the lineup, Andrew Wiggins scored 21 points in only 26 minutes. But it wasn't the points that caught the eye.

It was his six assists, with four coming in the first half in the Timberwolves' one-sided win. Maybe it was because of his well-established comfort with Gorgui Dieng, who was filling in at center for Towns. Maybe it was Wiggins acknowledging that he had to help move the ball in Towns' absence.

Wolves coach Ryan Saunders said moving the ball was something he and his staff have been talking to Wiggins about.
