The Minnesota Timberwolves played what was easily their best defense so far this season, holding the Pacers to 91 points and doing just enough on offense to manage a 10-point win.
The Wolves’ offense was an extremely balanced attack; Jimmy Butler led the way with just 20 points on 12 shots. Karl-Anthony Towns had 17 points and 14 rebounds.
Minnesota had five players in double digits in both shot attempts and points scored, including rookie Josh Okogie, who stepped in and played 24 minutes off the bench after Andrew Wiggins left in the first quarter due to a bruised quadriceps and didn’t return.
