It happened again to Andrew Wiggins a couple of times Wednesday night.
The Wolves guard got the ball, dribbled into the paint and went to that spin move he has used so effectively this season. But when he turned, there was a wall of Lakers defenders waiting for him.
“I tell our players all the time,” interim coach Sam Mitchell said. “They watch film, too.”
They, in this case, are Wolves opponents. And the film they’ve been watching clearly includes Wiggins, whose game has taken a quantum jump this season.
He has scored in double figures in 18 of his 20 games, scored 20 points or more 11 times, 30 or more three times.
And he is becoming a marked man.
