The Boston Celtics are taking on the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday afternoon in Minnesota. The Celtics led the Timberwolves at halftime by a score of 66-47.

Russell has eight points and four assists at halftime, while Anthony-Towns has 18 points and ten rebounds.

Over on the Celtics side, Jayson Tatum had a team-high 14-points at halftime.
