One of the more confusing sporting events I have watched over the past year took place Monday night. I’m not talking about Alabama destroying Notre Dame. No, the jaw-dropper in the sports world on Monday night took place in the District of Columbia where the Wizards actually beat the Thunder in the final second.
This is the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of shooting performances. As one of the best rebounding and defensive teams, Minnesota does not have to shoot great each night to win, but it seems to follow up decent shooting efforts with terrible performances from the floor. Stay tuned to see how it shoots tonight against Oklahoma City.
The Timberwolves have been wildly up and down the past couple of weeks, but the Thunder have not exactly been a model of consistency in 2013 themselves. They whiffed against the lowly Wizards, but now have a chance to get rolling against a battered Minnesota squad before heading to Los Angeles this weekend.
