MINNEAPOLIS — D'Angelo Russell, asked about getting the ball to friend and teammate Karl-Anthony Towns after Tuesday's 129-114 victory over Golden State, said: "Feed him, feed him, feed him. If you run out of food, feed him the fork.''
For the Timberwolves, Russell has become the straw that stirs the drink, the star that causes the stir.
He has become so much more than anyone should have rationally expected.
