Bones Hyland makes history off the bench for Timberwolves in rout over Bucks

Furthermore, as The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski pointed out, Hyland became the third player in franchise history with at least 20 points, five assists and zero turnovers off the bench.

Hyland is only averaging 6.4 points, 2.5 assists and shooting 44 percent on the season, so to say his performance Tuesday night was unexpected would be an understatement.

However, with two of Minnesota's key players on the bench the entire game, Hyland took full advantage of the opportunity. This corner three gave him a season-high 20 points just over two minutes into the fourth quarter.

As a team, the Timberwolves shot an efficient 60 percent (55-of-92) from the floor and went 52 percent (22-of-42) from deep in a wire-to-wire win over a Bucks team (17-23) that suffered its second straight loss to a shorthanded team after falling to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday.

As bad as that might sound if you are a Bucks fan, you cannot discredit the job this Timberwolves team did on the road without Edwards and Gobert. It was a slow start out of the gates for Minnesota, but after winning six of its last seven games, it appears to be hitting its stride at the season's halfway point.

Having Edwards and Gobert on the floor is a must for the Timberwolves to be legitimate contenders, but at least for Tuesday night, it did not matter as Hyland put together a historic performance and Minnesota's supporting cast shot lights-out.
