The Minnesota Timberwolves’ November 6th matchup against the Boston Celtics was an important one to say the least. This game was a litmus test for the Wolves, who had the top-ranked defense and were set to battle against the best offense (and arguably the best team) in the NBA so far this season. Energy was high as a jam-packed Target Center anticipated a dogfight that they would do anything they could to help their team come out on top.
When the game began I noticed something that was very unique to this matchup (as I am sure many of you did as well).
