Is it possible that the Wolves are better without Rubio and Love?
Rubio missed another game with back spasms and Love left early with another injury. This time a sprained finger on his shooting hand. At that exact moment, the Wolves started playing better,
They had a rough time in the late third, but were running like awell-oiled machine by game's end.
Two nights earlier, the Nuggets had stopped the Clippers 17-game win-streak. Denver is a very, very good team at home, yet last night without Rubio and Love the Wolves were the team that made plays when it mattered at the end.
The difference between this win and Wednesday's loss? Love wasn't in the game for the good parts.
I don't think this is a trend (yet), but it certainly is something to keep an eye on. ALL of the Wolves shot badly Wednesday, but they may be taking their cues from Love who really hasn't shot the ball well consistently since breaking his hand. His bad shooting is throwing the whole team off. Without him the Wolves were WAY better.
At least they were LAST night.
