While both teams come into the game with identical 8-8 records, they’re feeling two entirely different ways about it. Considering the injury issues that the Minnesota Timberwolves have had to deal with it, and the devastatingly unfortunate passing of Flip Saunders (#RIPFlip), the team is 8-8 with a relatively young roster playing important minutes. As it stands right now, they might actually be ahead of their rebuilding plan. And there is a reason for that.
Boy oh boy, Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins are awesome. That’s been one of the best things to watch as the season has gone through its first month.
