Though the quality of the Timberwolves opponent was higher that yesterday’s game against the Orlando Magic, tonight’s game against the Miami HEAT felt eerily similar.
At first.
Minnesota sprinted out of their blocks with some hot shooting early to take a double-digit lead in the 1st quarter, just to watch it eviscerated in just one quarter due to Karl-Anthony Towns’ foul trouble (3 fouls in just 9 minutes of play) and poor offensive decision-making. Jaylen Nowell was effective once again, scoring 12 points early, but the rest of the bench did not follow his lead. Coach Chris Finch made it a point to get him as many minutes as possible.
