The Minnesota Timberwolves were widely expected to take care of business against an undermanned Los Angeles Lakers squad on Wednesday night. Sure, they didn't have Anthony Edwards, but the Lakers were missing Luka Donu010diu0107, LeBron James, Gabe Vincent, and Marcus Smart. The Wolves ended up losing 116-115 off an Austin Reaves buzzer-beater.
Whether it was sloppy defense, an inability to generate rim pressure, or lethargic overall offense, there was a lot to nitpick with this game. However, second-year point guard Rob Dillingham played a season-high 16 minutes. Dillingham wasn't perfect, but he showed plenty of positive signs, especially as a decision-maker.
