Entirely too early NBA statistical analysis in its entirety...

[mjs34]

Am I the only one that was surprised GS even used their starters in the second half with that lead?

"Of those who've defended at least 2,500 shots over the past three seasons, no wing player has surrendered a higher effective field goal rate than Wiggins' 54.3 percent, according to data from Second Spectrum."

[Monster]

According to NBA.com the Wolves attempt the 2nd most field goal attempts per game and turn over the ball the 3rd least. They are tied for 6th in fast break points. There are plenty of less than rosy other stats but I find it encouraging that this team is certantly playing much faster which is something most of us have wanted to see.
