After the injury of Zach LaVine, the Wolves had to decide where to distribute those minutes. The 31-year-old veteran Brandon Rush ended up being the recipient of a lot of LaVine’s minutes.

Rush filled in and did an excellent job. His numbers were not flashy but they allowed Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins, and Ricky Rubio to continue to play their game.

He scored significantly less than Zach LaVine did, but was still a threat shooting the ball. Rush shot 38 percent from three-point range. That was the highest percentage of anyone on the Timberwolves roster this season.
