A few days removed from making their 2021 NBA Summer League debut, the Minnesota Timberwolves were back in action Thursday afternoon against the Chicago Bulls. I’ve said this countless times over the years while covering this team, but if you missed today’s matinee performance, boy oh boy did you not miss much.

Alright, that might have been a bit harsh — yes, the Wolves did put on a summer version of a defensive clinic, holding their Thursday opponent to just 59 points on 25% shooting, en route to their second-straight victory of the week.
