It was shaping up to be the perfect storm for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Former Timberwolves disappointment, Andrew Wiggins, got the national nod as an all-star game starter over the likes of Defensive Players of the Year, Rudy Gobert and Draymond Green, as well as a pair of Wolves, Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns. The latter two had to wait just 2.5 hours before they could prove in a nationally televised game that they deserved the spot over Wiggins.
Ever heard of plot armor?
Apparently, neither did the Wolves tonight.
