NBA preseason: Timberwolves preseason progress
Overview
The Minnesota Timberwolves continued their preseason campaign with a narrow 125-124 victory over the Miami Heat. The matchup was defined by heavy usage of bench players, as Heat coach Erik Spoelstra chose to sit his starting lineup and primary rotation players, a move potentially intended to protect game plans before their upcoming regular-season opener against Minnesota.
In the absence of Miami’s starters, rookie Ryan Conwell led the Heat with 22 points, 9 assists, and 5 rebounds. Other notable contributors for Miami included Nikola Jovic, who scored 16 points, and Simone Fontecchio, who added 14 points including four three-pointers. Nick Richards also recorded a double-double with 7 points and 10 rebounds. The Heat’s second unit featured Tre Donaldson and Pelle Larsson in the starting lineup.
