Minnesota Timberwolves superstar big man Karl-Anthony Towns made his preseason debut following his battle with an undisclosed illness that sidelined him for the first week of training camp, and his teammates made good on it.
After Minnesota fell behind by as many as 18 points to an insanely versatile Los Angeles Clippers squad mid-way through the second quarter thanks to a sloppy, isolation-heavy start, they immediately fought back with a greater intensity. Coupled with a free-flowing offensive mindset that generated easy, open looks in transition, head coach Chris Finch’s group prevented the game from getting out of hand before the half.
