Minnesota fell tonight, but the way with which they fought was admirable. Yes, the officiating was... suspect. That’s all I’ll say on that matter. Unrelated, both Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins found themselves on the bench early in the first quarter with two fouls, and I’ll admit, I thought the game was over.
It wasn’t, though, as Minnesota’s reserves fought to keep the Wolves in the game as most of their offense sat on the bench. It is largely because of them that Minnesota only trailed by two points heading into the half.
The second half was a wild, back-and-forth affair.
