Anyone who watched the Timberwolves win in New Orleans last week should not have been surprised at what transpired at Sunday’s rematch at Target Center: A lot of high-paced action, a sometimes glaring lack of defense.
An announced sellout of 18,978 got to see Zion Williamson’s first game at Target Center. He scored 23 points. His first four baskets were dunks. But the star was Jrue Holiday. He again led the way against the Wolves. He scored 37 points in a 120-107 victory over the Wolves.
Down 98-78 with 2:03 left in the third quarter, the Wolves went on a 13-2 run over the next 4:02 to pull within 11 with 10:08 left in the game.
