ince the departure of Jimmy Butler the Timberwolves were in identity crisis. They were struggling to figure out who their star players were. Nobody clearly looked like stepping up to the mantle except Towns.

But in the recent few games Andrew Wiggins have been showing positive signs and seems to be stepping up into Jimmy Butler's role. Both these youngsters gel well with each other and have developed a good chemistry with each other.

While Towns dominates from the inside, Wiggins makes sure that he's giving the opposition a headache on the fast break or anywhere on the wing.

This duo is slowly developing into a deadly 1-2 combo. In this game as well, their potential was on full display.

Towns scored 28 points with 18 rebounds, whereas Wiggins was no less. He came up with 28 of his own to help the team win.
