GAME RECAP
Impact player
Kyle O'Quinn, Orlando
Orlando's big man — and we mean that literally — cleaned up around the basket, to the tune of 14 points and 13 rebounds, against a Wolves team missing Kevin Love, Nikola Pekovic and others.
By the Numbers
10-4 Wolves record now when Ricky Rubio delivers a double-double game, which he did Saturday with an 18-point, 10-assist night.
9 Healthy and available Wolves players Saturday after Chase Budinger turned his ankle after playing exactly one minute while starting for injured Kevin Martin.
33:55 Playing time for Wolves forward Dante Cunningham, who started Saturday and played more than any of the Timberwolves one day after he was charged in Hennepin County Court on a felony domestic assault count.
