It certainly helps that we just watched the Minnesota Timberwolves and New Orleans Pelicans have a 149-142 overtime finish two nights ago. If you take away the five added minutes, Minnesota still managed to score 127 points in regulation, marking the second-straight game it’s gone OVER 122.5 total points after falling short the previous seven. New Orleans is down Zion Williamson, Herb Jones, and Yves Missi, and it already had the second-worst defense in basketball as is (120.7 points allowed per 100 possessions).Â
