The Wolves' 2-0 road split makes this a test of toughness, not just talent, at MSG
Minnesota walks into Madison Square Garden at 7:30 PM EDT carrying a 2-0 road split against a Knicks squad that has lost both of its preseason games, a lopsided ledger that says urgency belongs with the hosts if they want to patch a 0-1 home blemish. The defensive contrast is thin but telling, with Minnesota allowing 114.7 points per game to New York’s 115.5, which means the offense that finds its rhythm first isn’t necessarily creating a runaway, it’s just picking up two extra buckets in the late minutes.
