The Minnesota Timberwolves came out of the All-Star break with a definable air of rust, leading to a double-digit lead for the Houston Rockets. Despite this, the Wolves still managed to lead as far as late into the fourth quarter before terrible decision-making and bad shots (if this was a drinking game, you’d be hammered) lost them yet another game in a Western Conference that is too close to be burying yourself in.
There is good to be taken with the bad, however, as Anthony Edwards was fantastic in the second and third quarters and the defense had moments of genius even without Rudy Gobert.
