The Milwaukee Bucks went on a 31-7 run that extended across halftime and let them take control of the game against the Timberwolves and cruise to an easy win Friday night.
That — specifically the lack of defense — pissed coach Sam Mitchell off.
Just 3:52 into the second half he benched Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins, and Tayshaun Prince out of frustration with their defense. He benched Ricky Rubio a minute later. Rubio, Towns, and Wiggins never saw the court again.
