The Minnesota Timberwolves won their first preseason game this evening by beating the Miami Heat on the road 109-100. Former Louisville basketball player Gorgui Dieng started at center for the Timberwolves and had a very productive evening.
On a team loaded with young talent, it seems as though Dieng had solidified himself as the starting center for Minnesota. He has slowly been getting better each season and it will be fun to see what he can do on a team that is winning.
Dieng finished the evening playing 22 minutes, bringing down 8 rebounds, 1 assist, and scoring 5 points.
