The Minnesota Timberwolves are just puppies at this stage of their development. Anthony Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns are two of the most talented young big men in the league, but compared to veterans like LaMarcus Aldridge and David West, they are callow youths whose lack of knowledge can be easily exploited for easy buckets. Zach LaVine is another young canine who is starting to find his way, and he was pretty effective tonight, as he was the high scorer for the Wolves with 17 points.
Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan have been rivals in the NBA almost longer than Karl-Anthony Towns has been alive.
