On Saturday evening, the Minnesota Timberwolves fell back into the loss column with a tough home defeat at the hands of the Chicago Bulls. This was a surprising result given the records of the two teams coming into this matchup, but the Bulls were able to use some hot outside shooting, combined with a cold spell from the Timberwolves, in order to secure the victory.
After the game, Timberwolves wing and former Bulls standout Ayo Dosunmu kept it real about Minnesota's state of mind in the wake of the loss.
“Each and every night, you're gonna get a team's best shot. Especially with how well we've been playing… I think we're a good measuring stick. I think when you go up against the Minnesota Timberwolves it's one of those, like, ‘I can see how good my team is against them'. And I think we have to understand that it's different when you going from hunting to be the hunted,” he said, per Dane Moore on X, formerly Twitter.
The Timberwolves may not be “hunted” in the same way that championship-caliber teams like the New York Knicks or Oklahoma City Thunder routinely get opponents' best shot, but they have been playing well so far this year, even after the injury to Anthony Edwards, and thus may get some extra game-planning from certain teams when they see them on the schedule.

In any case, the Timberwolves will next hit the floor on Monday evening at home vs the Portland Trail Blazers.
