MINNEAPOLIS — The Timberwolves found a cure to their defensive doldrums Wednesday night — just hit a lot of shots.
Two nights after the Spurs ran them off the floor in transition, the Wolves were effective in one major way at limiting a team's ability to run the floor. They hit 65% from the field in a 134-122 win and got major contributions up and down the roster.
Anthony Edwards got the night started with five first-quarter three-pointers on his way to 34 points and nine assists. Then Jaylen Nowell provided a sterling late burst of bucket-getting that had the crowd chanting "Jay-len, Jay-len" as he scored 23. That was a far cry from the boos that reigned down multiple times on Monday.
