Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau is still figuring out the best way to mix his bench with his starters over the course of the game. One thing he is looking for is the ability of a player coming off the bench to work well with the starters.
The latest example of that might be Tyus Jones.
In Wednesday night's victory over San Antonio — one that broke the Wolves' 12-game losing streak to the Spurs — Jones scored only four points in 14 minutes, 36 seconds of playing time. But the chemistry the Apple Valley product showed in the two-man game with center Karl-Anthony Towns was behind a good bit of the Wolves' dominant second quarter.
