MIN 121, DAL 87 Wolves ripped the game open in the second half. Great game from KAT. Season-low points for an opponent. Wolves now 34-14, 1st in the West. Chik-Fil-A for everyone. KAT: 29 (11-15/4-6 3s), 9r, 4a Gobert: 17p, 6r, 2b Reid: 12p, 3-5 3s
Really good offensive half for KAT: 18pts 7-10, 7r, 3a. The rest of the team? Not so much.
