On a day that reminded a lot of people of Sam Bankman-Fried, the Minnesota Timberwolves went out there like Bachman-Turner Overture and were “taking care of business” all night long.
A game that in the early going exposed a lacking Denver Nuggets rotation without Jamal Murray (knee inflammation) was quickly claimed by a Wolves team that was not distracted by any of the outside noise surrounding the team’s ownership.
It was a near perfect first half, perfect in every way. Leads were built and maintained. Players were excellent in their roles. The coaching staff made Denver’s weaknesses clear.
