Another solid night for Garza.
8 points, 8 boards (six offensive) and +11 in 15 minutes as the Wolves pull the upset short-handed against OKC on TNT. Luka even got a highlight on Inside the NBA.
Absolutely love it! Especially over Hartenstein.
I watched the game last night as it was on tnt. Was good to see him play well as I know he had a bit of a rough patch a few games prior. Still puzzles me how he doesn’t get more minutes. I know his defense is bad but his hustle and instant offense should make up for it.
Iowa wrestling was in town for a meet against the gophers. A few of the wrestlers went to watch Garza play the night before their meet.Luka played the 8th most team minutes last night.
How he got those 8 points:
4-7 (57%) from inside the arc
0-0 from three
0-0 from the FT line
Minny wins 116-98. Luka was 0-1 from the field in every bit of the minute and a half of playing time he got. BTW Gobert did not play.

Yesterday Minnesota (43-32) beat Detroit (42-33) in Minneapolis, 123-104.
Luka played just 2 minutes, was 1-1 inside the arc (he didn't attempt a three) and 2-2 from the FT line for 4 points, 1 assist.
At this moment (in the video below), Luka had yet to enter the game. Detroit had to pick the guy who shot FTs and they chose Luka. He hit them both.
The crowd, as you can see, loved it.

WTG Luka!!!!!!!!Naz Reid got fouled, but he got ejected. Somebody had to shoot the FTs!
Watch both videos for context of how Luka made his way to the FT line.
I guess, technically, he scored 2 points in 5 seconds of playing time.
