MILWAUKEE -- To say this has been quite a week for the Minnesota Timberwolves would be an understatement. The Jimmy Butler saga has taken what's often been a young, quiet team and aired much of its dirty laundry for the entire nation to smell.
And that was even before Friday night, when the Wolves lost 143-121 in their preseason finale in Milwaukee, a shellacking that brought about an even worse stench heading into the regular season.
The Bucks, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo's triple-double in just 25 minutes of work, canned 25 3-pointers on the night and logged 84 points by halftime.
