Recap:
The Minnesota Timberwolves are looking to make it back to the postseason for the first time in well over a decade. Former Louisville basketball player Gorgui Dieng is their starting center for this season and he is looking to take the T’Wolves to the promised land.
In the preseason, Dieng had a couple of great outings rebounding the basketball and giving his teammates opportunities to score. Minnesota has a plethora of young talent on their roster, therefore they are definitely a team to watch throughout the 2016-2017 season.
Final Score and Stat Line:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | T | |
| Timberwolves | 32 | 27 | 16 | 23 | 98 |
| Grizzlies | 29 | 21 | 26 | 26 | 102 |
Gorgui Dieng: 34 minutes, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, and 12 points
Discussion:
I would have to argue that Gorgui Dieng was the player of the game for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
