Most Timberwolves beat reporters ran with highlights the Wolves’ hot 3-point shooting when recapping Saturday’s rejuvenating 142-115 win over the Clippers.
Rightfully so.
The Wolves were seemingly unstoppable as they fired away from beyond the arc and hit a franchise record of 26 3s in the game after releasing just 44 attempts. The reaction to seeing the new Wolves torching an above-average Clippers defense was just as electric as the sharpshooting itself.
But there were two shots that garnered the same reaction and shouldn’t be overlooked — Jordan McLaughlin’s back-to-back dunks.
McLaughlin’s first slam came about one minute, 30 seconds into the third quarter.
