Continuing a recent trend, the Timberwolves played yet another shorthanded team Monday at Target Center.
The Heat came to Minnesota to play for a second time in two nights, missing a long list of players: Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Gabe Vincent among others. On a three-game losing streak, the Heat suited up a team missing 73 points a game to face a Wolves team that was back home after winning three straight.
So why was Minnesota, in front of a very quiet crowd, down by 13 in the third quarter?
Turns out it doesn't matter.
