Well, how about that?! The first quarter was ugly, with many of this teams deficiencies being exposed, but Minnesota fought back for a gritty win, keeping the dream of 72-0 alive.
The best part about tonight? Each of the Wolves important core guys brought something to the table.
Karl-Anthony Towns was quiet early, but was everywhere in the fourth quarter, helping the Wolves put the game away on both ends of the floor. In all, KAT finished with 22/11/7/1/2 on 60/50/100 shooting. Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
As for Towns’ running mate, D’Angelo Russell, it’s clear that while he isn’t perfect, he just brings a level of shot-making to this team that they simply have not head in a really long time.
