Friday's game offered little encouragement for Minnesota Timberwolves fans. The Wolves fell short 128-110 to the Los Angeles Lakers in a game where their defense looked lackluster en route to Luka Donu010diu0107 notching 49 points. Additionally, second-year guard Rob Dillingham suffered a fractured nose. All things considered, it was a brutal night.
However, one bright spot for the Wolves was the play of Bones Hyland. The VCU product played 16 minutes, posting nine points and two assists while shooting 66.7 percent from the field. Hyland earned more minutes than last year's starting point guard, Mike Conley.
