GAME RECAP

Impact player

Trey Burke, Utah

The rookie point guard whom the Wolves selected and dealt on draft night last summer scored 32 points, including a three-point dagger with 1:03 left in the second overtime.

By the NUMBERS

9 More Wolves victories than a season ago. They were 31-51 then and finish this season 40-42.

38 Years since an NBA player finished a season averaging at least 26 points, 12 rebounds and four assists a game. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bob McAdoo both did it in the 1975-76 season, and Love did it this season.
