The scoring started with a quick post-up by Andrew Wiggins over Devin Booker. Teams still feel like they can get a good shot against Booker in isolation which may not be true depending on the night but is worrisome when it comes to teams’ game plan. They attack Booker and make him play defense and it can wear him out.
Then, just like in Sunday’s game, Minnesota got easy points off a Karl-Anthony Towns putback to create an early lead. The Timberwolves put Towns in different spots nearly every trip down the court to confuse defenses and space the floor.
