Timberwolves Wrap: A deflating blowout loss to Pelicans
The Timberwolves had a real chance to build a three-game winning streak in hosting the floundering New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night, but tripped over themselves and were blown out in the process.
It was a debacle from the short span in time during the first quarter in which Ricky Rubio and Karl-Anthony each picked up their respective second personal fouls.
The same bench that had played so well of late tanked in a big way, and Zach LaVine and Andre Miller could not contain Jrue Holiday off of the Pelicans’ bench. At the same time, the Wolves’ offense sputtered with Shabazz Muhammad and Adreian Payne adding nothing to the ‘attack’.
