2021-22 Minnesota Timberwolves Season Recap

A Promising Season for the Young Wolves

The Timberwolves finished with a 46-36 record, good for seventh place in the Western Conference. Led by Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards, and D'Angelo Russell, the Wolves showed flashes of brilliance throughout the season.

Towns averaged 24.6 points and 9.8 rebounds per game, while Edwards made a significant jump in his second season, averaging 21.3 points and 4.8 rebounds. Russell also had a solid season, averaging 18.1 points and 6.9 assists per game.

The Wolves' success was due in part to their improved defense. They ranked 11th in the league in defensive rating, a significant improvement from the previous season. They also had a strong bench, led by Malik Beasley, Jaden McDaniels, and Naz Reid.

Despite their success, the Wolves still have some areas to improve. They need to be more consistent on the road, where they went just 19-22 this season. They also need to improve their free throw shooting, as they ranked 29th in the league in free throw percentage.

Overall, the 2021-22 season was a promising one for the Timberwolves. They showed that they have a bright future, and they should be a contender in the Western Conference for years to come.
