Ho-ly s#@%.
For the first time since 2016 and a Shabazz Muhammad 30-piece against the 73-9 Golden State Warriors, the Minnesota Timberwolves walked off the home court of the defending champs as winners.
What started out as a track meet ended as a dog fight. Both teams traded seismic errors in the second half that felt as though they were playing hot potato with the game. The Wolves shot 56% from the free throw line, leaving 11 crucial points there. Jaden McDaniels found himself in foul trouble, while Minnesota took multiple costly technical and flagrant fouls.
