Undeterred by a sprained knee that sidelined him for two games last week, Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson picked up where he left off on Monday against Portland, extending his playmaking streak.
He delivered five assists, scored nine points and was a plus-12 – second-best on his team – in nearly 29 minutes off the bench during a 119-114 victory at Target Center.
Anderson now has three assists or more in 11 consecutive games, the longest such streak in his pro career.
Wolves point guard Mike Conley calls it a veteran player finding his place and filling his role.
