If you were waiting on the Donte DiVincenzo game, you got your wish on Sunday night.
With a foot on their chest courtesy of Victor Wembanyama and the visiting San Antonio Spurs, it was the former Villanova guard and feature of the Karl-Anthony Towns trade that shot life into the Minnesota Timberwolves and carried them out of a first quarter lull and to a third straight win.
The foot on the chest was almost immediate. Another opening stint from the starting lineup that lacked energy saw the Wolves close out the first quarter shooting nine percent from deep, get outrebounded 12 to 6, not hit a three point field goal until three minutes left in the quarter, and find themselves at one point in a double digit deficit.
