Depleted Timberwolves have little trouble dispatching Knicks 103-92
For the first time since Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns suited up together in 2015, the Wolves played a game without both of them.
Wiggins missed a second consecutive game because of a left quad contusion while Towns sat out because of right knee inflammation. In Towns’ case, this represented a positive development that he evaded a more serious injury after exiting Saturday’s game near the end of regulation.
That left the Wolves without their two franchise maximum contract players on Sunday. But they didn’t have to exert maximum effort considering their opponent was the tanking Knicks, who the Wolves dispatched of 103-92 at Target Center.
