First things first: Shai Shucking Gilgeous-Alexander.
Now that I officially did not bury the lede, let’s put a pin in SGA and save the best for last. There are so many fun storylines and stat lines in this one that I want to cover them all before we go cray for Shai*.
Top 5 Crazy Stat Lines of the Game:
Honorable Mention: Terrance Ferguson. 14 points. Anytime TFerg hits double digits, it’s noteworthy.
5. Naz Reid. The Timberwolves undrafted rookie scored a team high 20 points in only 18 minutes, hitting 4 of 8 shots from long distance.
