Minnesota Timberwolves add to Portland Timberwolves' woes
A night after getting blown out by a fifth all-time high losing margin of 62 points against the OKC Thunder, the Portland Trail Blazers found themselves on the raw end of another rout, this time a 33-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
However, when asked about it, Karl-Anthony Towns said that they were just doing their job.
“Just be professionals, just come out and play with the standards that we’ve established for ourselves since Day 1 here,” said Towns, who had 23 points on 7-of-8 field goals including a perfect 3-for-3 from beyond the arc, eight rebounds, one assist, and two steals.
“Defensively and offensively finding, again, another gear and get back to our groove.”
Meanwhile, Rudy Gobert is glad that the Minnesota Timberwolves have continued to put up a stellar season.
“We want to see each other succeed,” said Gobert, who led the Timberwolves with 24 points on 9-of-11 shooting, 17 rebounds, and two blocks.
“We want to be able to win together. That’s unique. In this league, a lot of teams have egos. I think we’re both in a place in our career now where it’s about winning. Nothing else matters.”
The Timberwolves will hope to extend their early dominance this season ahead of their showdown against the star-studded Clippers.
