The Timberwolves have been clicking on all cylinders so far this season surprisingly without Anthony Edwards. A lot of people wrote this team off once Ant Man went down but they have been able to showcase true team chemistry game by game.
The Timberwolves had the Dallas Mavericks come into town and everyone was expecting a heavyweight battle in Target Center. What we got was a Minnesota team that was playing highly motivated on both ends of the floor. It started today with LaMelo Ball who came out aggressive on the offensive end as he was able to hit some 3 pointers that had Target Center rocking early. Once LaMelo gets to see one of those 3 pointers go in he feels like that basket is wide open like the ocean. Ball has been everything that the Timberwolves have needed and more on the young season. Ball has been amazing shooting the ball and tonight the Mavericks had no answer for him as he put up 22 points on the night. The most impressive stat of the night was his 9 assists as he was able to find his teammates in their spots making the game come easy. LaMelo was locked in from the start and when the Wolves are clicking like they were tonight you will look up and be down 30 points just like Dallas was at one point. It didn’t matter who was in front of Ball tonight he was playing at a level that Martin/Irving weren’t able to match. When LaMelo Ball’s playing like this he definitely makes a case for himself to be an NBA All-Star.
It was a complete effort from the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight as Kuminga/McDaniels/Hyland made it look easy. This Minnesota team prides itself on defense and they were able to force Dallas to sit their starters tonight in the 3rd quarter. Bones Hyland
