Timberwolves’ starters swarm Hornets for win in Charlotte
Minnesota is handling the soft portion of it schedule just as it should. A day after a dominant fourth quarter pushed the Wolves past the depleted 76ers, Minnesota was much more dominant throughout its 125-110 victory over the Hornets in Charlotte.
A little over midway through the first quarter in Charlotte, N.C., Julius Randle backed down his defender in the post and then fired a crisp kickout pass to Jaden McDaniels above the 3-point line. McDaniels had an open look at a 3 from an area of the floor that has been profitable for him.
As Windhorst observes, Minnesota star Anthony Edwards and Durant have a good relationship stemming from last year’s Olympics. The Wolves, like most teams across the league, will have more flexibility and roster spots to pursue a potential move this summer.
Amid reports suggesting the Suns could look to trade Kevin Durant this summer, the Timberwolves have emerged as a team to watch as a potential trade partner.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are expected to revisit a Kevin Durant trade pursuit in the offseason as speculation around his future grows.
