For years, the Minnesota Timberwolves were one of the slowest teams in the league. Notably, the Wolves ranked within the bottom 10 in pace during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons. However, they rank ninth in pace this season.
Furthermore, during the past two seasons, Minnesota was in the bottom three in transition frequency. This season, though, the Wolves are up to 10th in transition points. With the addition of Ayo Dosunmu, who excels in transition, the Wolves are only going to continue improving in this area.
Before the season, the Wolves openly discussed playing faster, and thankfully, they've delivered on this promise.
