Sure, it’s just preseason, but who cares? The Timberwolves kicked off their 2023-24 season with a 111-99 win over the Dallas Mavericks in Abu Dhabi. Anthony Edwards was unfortunately a last-minute scratch due to an ankle injury, but we saw the rest of the expected starting lineup that led the the Wolves into halftime with a 66-49 lead.
After halftime, the starters only played a little into the third quarter, but what they showed in the first half should get fans excited. One of the big concerns with the Timberwolves’ offense last season was the lack of structure and overall consistency.
