The question about the Timberwolves’ defensive play Wednesday night wasn’t even finished when Karl-Anthony Towns said, “We weren’t good.”
Nothing like getting to the point.
The Wolves’ defense didn’t make it to the Staples Center in their 128-101 loss to the Clippers, who shot 55 percent and doles out 36 assists.
They’ll have another chance against Oklahoma City on Friday, this time in front of a home crowd in their only preseason game at Target Center.
Perhaps the biggest question facing the Wolves as they head into the season likely without the services of Jimmy Butler, one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA, is how the defense will look.
