"Andrew Wiggins always plays good against his old team": NBA Twitter reacts to Wiggins' poster dunk on former teammate Karl-Anthony Towns

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins performs a poster dunk on former teammate Karl-Anthony Towns. Wiggins led the dubs in scoring. The former first pick had a 30+points performance against his former team.

The Warriors were hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at the Chase Center. The Dubs got off to a great start, leading from the very first quarter. The Warriors currently hold the best record in the NBA.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves are off to a rocky start. The Minnesota team comprises a Big 3 of Karl-Anthony Towns, D’Angelo Russell, and Anthony Edwards. Though Wolves were shooting 43.8%  from the 3-point till the third quarter, the Warriors led in field goals and rebounds.

Surprisingly, despite having the best shooter in the world in Stephen Curry, the Warriors were a dismal 33.3% from beyond the arc till the end of the third quarter.
