A very shorthanded Wolves squad led by an absolutely resurgent Derrick Rose took down the Utah Jazz in a resounding victory on Wednesday night. The Wolves were without Jimmy Butler, Jeff Teague and Tyus Jones, but got a career-high 50 points in a dominant fashion from Rose, who led them to victory in an instant classic of a game.
Outside of Rose’s brilliance, the Wolves found a surprising but successful blueprint for success. The Wolves moved the ball sharply and Rose absolutely cut up the Jazz defense, collecting six assists on top of his scoring. Josh Okogie made Donovan Mitchell and Ricky Rubio work for everything, and Karl-Anthony Towns put on another dominant performance on both sides of the ball working as both a scorer and a distributor.
