Timberwolves have an underdiscussed strength that makes them clear contenders
Minnesota TImberwolves v Chicago Bulls | Michael Reaves/GettyImagesFacing one of the few teams ahead of them in the Western Conference, the Minnesota Timberwolves found themselves trailing the San Antonio Spurs by 13 points at halftime. In the first 24 minutes, Minnesota had miserable shooting splits of 38.1/18.8/50.0.
It was a tale of two halves, as Minnesota secured a 104-103 victory over the Spurs as Anthony Edwards drove by Victor Wembanyama and banked in a floater over Luke Kornet for the game-winning points with 17 seconds remaining. Over the final 24 minutes, the Timberwolves shot 47.9 percent from the field and 39.1 percent from beyond the arc.
