After a tumultuous and disappointing first quarter of the season, the Minnesota Timberwolves are starting to have an identity and some clarity. The main driver of this sense of purpose is the return of Karl-Anthony Towns, who serves as the fulcrum of the offensive and defensive systems of this team. Towns opens up the spacing, the multiplier that provides gravitational pull on the opposing team’s defense.
But, there is also a semblance of structure to be found in the established absence of D’Angelo Russell.
