Nickeil Alexander-Walker Leads Timberwolves in Scoring Monday
Nickeil Alexander-Walker finished as the team's top scorer in Monday's 128-126 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, posting 23 points on 9-for-15 shooting off the bench. Minnesota's second unit played a big role in the contest, as Donte DiVincenzo also came alive with a 22-point effort. Alexander-Walker's offensive contributions didn't end with his scoring, as he matched Anthony Edwards for the team high with six assists. The 26-year-old completed his line with four rebounds and two steals, shooting 5-for-8 from deep. While playing against his cousin Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the series, Alexander-Walker has significantly increased his offensive output, averaging 17.3 points over his past three outings. Edwards and Julius Randle combined for only 21 points on Monday, making Alexander-Walker's improvement on the offensive end timely for the team.
