Notes from Monday's win over Utah...
- D’Angelo Russell led the way for the Timberwolves tonight, including scoring the game-winning layup with 4.2 seconds remaining. Russell finished with a game-high 27 points, on 10-of-16 shooting, including 7-of-12 from deep and a game-high 12 assists, good for his 18th career 20+ point/10+ assist game (second of the season). Of his 27 points, 15 of them came in the in the second quarter alone, as he tallied a season-high-tying six three-pointers, the fifth time in his career hitting 6+ treys in the first half.
- Russell's six threes in the first half tied the Timberwolves franchise record for most threes in a half and is approaching the franchise for three-pointers in a game of 8 (Stephon Marbury at Seattle, 12/23/97; Kevin Love at San Antonio, 12/13/13).
