It’s just one game, but if the Minnesota Timberwolves’ commanding 124-106 victory in Wednesday’s home opener is any indication, the team’s energy both on and off court has transformed.
The additions of veterans Taurean Prince and Patrick Beverley increase the team’s defensive abilities while also providing sound locker room leaders. Head coach Chris Finch underwent his first full offseason at the helm, keying in on the team’s areas for improvement.
All of the above came to fruition, albeit for just one game, in Wednesday’s opener.
Wolves guard Malik Beasley hustled back in transition defense to prevent multiple Houston Rockets scores.
