LaMelo Ball shines in Minnesota's win over Utah

LaMelo Ball has only been in Minnesota a few months, but last night he looked like he'd been there forever. Back at Target Center to open the longest homestand in franchise history, he scored 24 points on ten-of-twenty shooting with five assists and two steals in a 115-100 win over Utah. The moment that brought the building to its feet came midway through the third quarter, when he picked off a pass at midcourt and cruised in alone for a dunk. After the game he said it best: ain't nothing like going to the crib. Ayo Dosunmu, who Ball now calls "the Jet," led the way with 26, Minnesota made 27 of 32 free throws, and the Wolves have won four straight and five of seven without Anthony Edwards. Coach Chris Finch summed him up simply, calling Ball a magical player.
