The Timberwolves just held 4 straight opponents to under 40% from the field and under 30% from three. No team in the NBA has done that in 9 seasons. (alien.top)

Source.

Relatively obscure stat, but impressive nonetheless.

The Timberwolves defense right now looks like an undeniably top-tier defense. Rudy is DPOY front runner, and they have a stable of long, athletic defenders that can guard ferociously inside and out. Entire team is bought in to being an elite defense, and they have the personnel to do it.

They’ve got an extremely difficult 5-game road stretch coming up. How they do in that stretch will tell us a lot, but right now they are head and shoulders above any other defense in the league.

Mitchell Robinson coming for your DPOY booty

Mitchel absolutely beasts against us too. I'm worried about his and Randle's physicality down low. Thankfully yall are in the east.
