“The Wolves have allowed 2.1 fewer points per 100 possessions than any other team. That would be the fourth biggest differential between the top-ranked and second-ranked defense in the 28 seasons for which we have play-by-play data.
They have the best record (23-11) in games played between the 18 teams that are currently over .500 and the best record (11-7) in games played between the top eight teams in the West.
They’ve been the league’s most improved rebounding team, grabbing 51.6% of available rebounds (sixth), up from 48.5% (27th) last season. The larger improvement has been on the defensive glass.
The Wolves have the league’s most home-heavy remaining schedule, with 17 of their 27 games at the Target Center. They begin their post-break schedule with their longest homestand of the season (seven games over 11 days), though it includes three rest-disadvantage games, the first coming Saturday against Brooklyn.”
