Shannon also had two rebounds, an assist and a steal.

“I’ve been wrestling with getting another guy in the rotation,” Finch said. “A guy that could stretch the floor in transition, be a downhill player, got a good body, physicality … We kind of knew coming into the game that we were going to get to him.”

“You’re definitely going to see him more.”.

The Target Center crowd gave Shannon a standing ovation when he subbed out with 7:50 left in first half.

“When you got a younger guy who’s in the same position you were, just watching him stay ready, then put on big performances … in a big, big, big moment, it’s fun to see,” said Naz Reid, who has become the Wolves’ go-to sixth man. “You kind of get the chills.”

“Nobody gets the Naz Reid treatment, he’s one of a kind,” Shannon said about the fans’ response. “But I appreciate it.”
