The Minnesota Timberwolves came into Wednesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans fresh off one of their best regular season wins in recent memory, making it a classic ‘let down’ spot. And that’s before the Pelicans announced that they would be missing six rotation players — including Zion Williamson, who is set to welcome the birth of his first child.
Wolves Head Coach Chris Finch spoke pregame about how New Orleans has plenty of experience without their superstar and stressed that his team needed to bring the same maturity they’ve brought on this three-game home winning streak.
