The 2nd-most sluggish tempo team in the league over the last 5 games has been the Timberwolves.The Timberwolves rank as the 8th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league with the home court advantage this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore eliminate further opportunities for scoring and assists).This year, opposing clubs have brought down 12.0 offensive boards per game (6th-highest in the NBA) vs. the Pelicans (maintaining possessions that can lead to further opportunities for offense).Over the last 5 games when they are the visiting team, the other team has attempted 24.2 free throws per game (10th-most in the NBA) vs. the Pelicans, finding it easy to draw fouls.
