Timberwolves Win with DiVincenzo in Starting Role

The Minnesota Timberwolves ended a three-game losing streak with a 108-106 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, following a significant adjustment to their starting lineup. Head coach Chris Finch decided to bench veteran Mike Conley, inserting Donte DiVincenzo into the starting five, a move that many fans had been advocating for. DiVincenzo performed well, contributing 15 points and nine rebounds, while Conley, despite coming off the bench for the first time this season, added 11 points and helped the second unit excel. Finch humorously attributed the change to public opinion, stating, "I just read all the papers" before deciding to alter the lineup. This shift comes as the Timberwolves, sitting at 18-17, have struggled to find consistent scoring, raising questions about their overall performance this season. The coaching staff hopes that this adjustment will help optimize the team's offense moving forward.
