A little over one week ago, the professionals in Las Vegas, NV had the win total for the Minnesota Timberwolves set at 35.5. Fast forward seven short days, and that total may need to be adjusted to 81.5.
Led by Andrew Wiggins (YES YOU ARE READING THAT CORRECTLY), the Wolves put on a 4th quarter offensive clinic, outscoring the pesky Miami Heat 39-25 in the final frame to secure the victory and push their early season record to 3-0.
Coming off an overtime win against the Milwaukee Bucks and without Admiral Paternity Leave, the Heat had every reason to mail in the second night of an early back-to-back, but Miami did what they’ve always done under head coach Erik Spoelstra — grind out possessions on defense and have a “next man up” mentality on the offensive end.
