The Minnesota Timberwolves have won 6 out of their past 8 games and are coming off a 105-113 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.
The hype of Derrick Rose and the Wolves’ defense took a backseat to the starting five of the Blazers, who totaled 91 points shooting an outstanding 53.5 percent from the field.
Rose ended up making 9 out of his questionable 25 shots taken in that game, and Karl-Anthony Towns allowed Jusuf Nurkic to dismantle all bigs in the post with 22 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, and 3 steals.
