After getting roasted by the Los Angeles Clippers three times already this season, the Minnesota Timberwolves had enough. In a game where the Wolves were still out Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell for hopefully the last time of the season due to health & safety protocols, they managed to lead for all but the first 5:49 minutes of the game. The stars weren’t necessarily out for either team on this first Monday of 2022, but the moon certainly was. Well, Xavier Moon at least.
Okay, sorry.
Seriously though, the 10-day contract signee did have himself an amazing 3:40 minute stretch to start the 4th quarter, posting 9 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block.
