Not many teams are capable of beating one of the league's top teams while their best player is sidelined. And even fewer teams could do so in a game where their second-best player shot 3-of-14 from the field. However, that's exactly what the Minnesota Timberwolves did on Sunday night, toppling the Boston Celtics 102-92 in one of their more impressive wins of the season.
It was a collective scoring night for the Wolves, who were led by Bones Hyland (23 points), Jaden McDaniels (19 points), and Ayo Dosunmu (17 points). Perhaps more importantly, the Wolves' defense set the tone with their physicality from the jump.
