The Wolves picked up a massive win on Thursday night in Los Angeles, thanks in large part to the resurgent play of Andrew Wiggins.
It wasn’t Wiggins’ line that was the most impressive (though it was certainly solid) but the way he got there. Thursday’s was, with the possible exception of his 40-point game in OKC earlier in the month, the most legitimately-exciting performance we’ve seen from Wiggins in the long time.
Wiggins finished with 23 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two steals, doing most of his scoring damage around the rim. He was simply everywhere—crashing the boards, keeping his eyes up and finding teammates, playing solid defense and using his athleticism to run all over the Lakers.
