Saturday night at Target Center against the Chicago Bulls, Wolves starters Robert Covington and Andrew Wiggins combined to take 30 shots.
They missed 29 of them.
This is not about beating up on a couple of players who had difficult nights. But it’s saying something that — even against a banged-up, struggling team like the Bulls — the Wolves still managed a relatively easy 111-96 victory.
“That’s why they call it a team,” said Covington, who made just one of 18 shots.
Indeed. Karl-Anthony Towns had 35 points and 22 rebounds. He had six assists to just three turnovers.
