Timberwolves' point guard trio kicks into top gear with playoffs approaching
Not all that long ago, the Timberwolves were searching for one bona fide point guard.
In Friday night's 104-91 home victory over Cleveland, three point guards played together during a chunk of the second quarter.
Starter Mike Conley, Jordan McLaughlin and recently acquired Monte Morris were on the floor together during a game in which Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid returned from injuries while fellow big man Karl-Anthony Towns remained out with a torn meniscus.
The Wolves led 33-27 when Conley came back into the game early in the second quarter. They still led 44-40 before McLaughlin and Morris came out 5½ minutes later.
