SAN FRANCISCO – The Timberwolves looked lifeless for the majority of their 113-104 loss to the Warriors on Monday night.
It took a few players who weren’t even with the team for Saturday’s game against Portland to inject some semblance of it into them.
It was Jordan McLaughlin and Kelan Martin, two players who have seen some action with the Wolves this year but are mainstays in G-League affiliate Iowa, who helped lead a fourth quarter charge that eventually brought the Wolves within five.
McLaughlin had the night of his life, scoring 19 points, dishing out four assists and getting three steals.
