Bench dominates

Utah was down three starting frontcourt players heading into Sunday’s tilt, and then lost guard Keyonte George to an ankle injury during the game.

That’s the type of injury report that depletes average teams in short order.

As such, while Utah’s starting unit held up against Minnesota, the reserves were blown off the floor by the Wolves’ bench.

The Wolves out-scoreed Utah by double-digits when each of its rotational reserves was on the floor.

Charity stripe success

Minnesota entered the evening as the worst free-throw shooting team in the NBA, hitting a woeful 65% of its attempts. Wolves coach Chris Finch noted pregame the Wolves would still be No. 30 even if Rudy Gobert’s numbers were removed.

That improved Sunday, as Minnesota made 27 of 32 attempts.

Dosunmu dominates again

Ayo Dosunmu continued his strong run of play, tallying 26 points to go with four rebounds.
