The Minnesota Timberwolves are struggling to play competent basketball without their star and franchise centerpiece.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have looked downright terrible since the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns – and that was no different on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Timberwolves lost in more than convincing fashion, and there are not many bright spots to point out. The first quarter was okay, with Ricky Rubio hitting some early threes as well as Anthony Edwards starting out on fire.
