Deep dives
Wolves show strong preseason performances with effective big lineup
The Wolves won both of their preseason games against the Dallas Mavericks in Abu Dhabi, showcasing an effective big lineup. This emphasized the importance of size and imposing their presence on both ends of the floor, similar to when Nas got hurt last season. The team's performance in these games indicates significant improvement compared to last year, with better defensive capabilities even with Karl-Anthony Towns playing at the four.
