Game Notes:

Following a very productive Summer League the Wolves chose to sit Zach LaVine who has been lighting it up from the perimeter. In hindsight they may have wished they played him as the Jazz went at the top draft pick Towns who never really got on track in the game despite scoring 14. Payne also continues to look good for the T-Wolves whole have a very versatile albeit young team this season. Utah’s Trey Lyles continues to showcase a complete game and why the Jazz selected him higher than he was anticipated to be drafted. The Jazz jumped on Minnesota early and once they built a cushion the lead was never in question.
