During Saturday’s loss to the Nuggets, Timberwolves forward Luol Deng found himself playing with Karl-Anthony Towns more in the second half than he had in the first half.
Deng noticed the Nuggets were coming at Towns with multiple defenders when Towns touched the ball, and they were sometimes helping off Deng.
“I kept trying to get to the corner, because I knew they were helping from the bottom guy,” Deng said. “I just told KAT, the corner threes are open.”
Deng hit two of four three-pointers in the second half, although his last attempt on the Wolves’ final shot of the game missed.
