For the first time in 129 days (not including Summer League), there was a Timberwolves basketball game! Yes, it’s just preseason, and yes, Anthony Edwards, Julius Randle, and Mike Conley all sat out, but it was still an outing for the diehards to enjoy. Played in San Diego, Minnesota was able to defeat a rival in the Nuggets by the score of 126-116. It was also a win for Bones Hyland against his first NBA team, and he had a strong outing against his former club.
Bones Hyland scores game-high 18
While the 25-year-old Hyland was not in the starting lineup, his 18 points were the most by any player in the contest.
