Tyler Metcalf looks at the eighth week of the Minnesota Timberwolves season by diving into D’Angelo Russell continuing his strong play, the team’s odd defensive woes, and Anthony Edwards’ defensive improvements.
The Minnesota Timberwolves wrapped up the eighth week of the season with a 13-13 record that left them sitting in 11th place in the Western Conference. The Wolves remain without their All-NBA big man Karl-Anthony Towns, and 11th place would be a massive failure if it doesn’t change, but oddly enough, things are starting to feel more encouraging. Despite being in the 11th seed, they’re also only a game back from the sixth seed and two games clear of the 12th.
