The Minnesota Timberwolves moved to 2-0 on the season with a road win over the Northwest Division rival Utah Jazz.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are 2-0.
That’s the headline, certainly. But there are plenty of sub-headers to this one.
First, the Wolves were up by 15 points at halftime and 18 points at one point in the third quarter. The Jazz got to within a possession a couple of times in the fourth quarter, but it (mostly) felt like the Wolves were in control the whole time.
