GAME RECAP

Impact player

Nikola Pekovic, Wolves

The center made 12 of 17 shots on the way to a game-high 27 points, with 14 rebounds, a steal and a block. And all that in 29 minutes; he didn't play the fourth quarter.

By the numbers

36 The biggest lead enjoyed by the Wolves Saturday.

28 Halftime lead by Wolves, the fifth-largest halftime advantage in franchise history.

10 Number of times the Wolves have built leads of 30 or more points in a game this season. That is a league high, and something the Wolves did only six times in the previous eight seasons.
