Minnesota Timberwolves Fall To The Chicago Bulls In Summer League Action
Fred Hoiberg going to the Chicago Bulls and not being Flip Saunders’ successor for the Minnesota Timberwolves is already throwing up havoc for Minnesota as Hoiberg’s Bulls ruined the Wolves’ perfect Summer League record. The Bulls reigned victorious on Saturday with a 84-71 win over the Wolves who now fall to 1-1 in summer play.
The Wolves had two rough quarters. The first quarter saw only 14 points while the third quarter saw only ten.
Karl-Anthony Towns reigned in his fouls while only committing four on Saturday. Towns scored nine points, grabbed nine boards and blocked two shots in almost 33 minutes of play.
Tyus Jones got to start on Saturday after coming off the bench the night before. Jones put in 14 points and dished out three assists.
