There are plenty of signs of a team with good chemistry that are evident on the basketball court. Guys who know their teammates well and enjoy playing with them know their tendencies and how to best optimize their play on the hardwood. The Minnesota Timberwolves had some of the best on-court chemistry of any club in the association last year.
But there are also plenty of ways for a team to show togetherness off the floor as well. The Timberwolves did just that on Wednesday when they all got together to celebrate Halloween together. With most of the guys making appearances and dressing up in their own unique costume, it was a fun show of team chemistry that included some of the most important players on the squad.
Anthony Edwards was of course in attendance, sporting a Mr. Incredible costume from the Pixar movie series. Also showing up were Josh Minott, Jaden McDaniels, Mike Conley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Rob Dillingham, Luka Garza, Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid.

Anthony Edwards dressed up as Mr. Incredible
The outfits on display were wide-ranging, from some of the more traditional Halloween costume ideas to some more strange and original ones. Rudy Gobert appropriately dressed up as the big bad wolf, while a mystery player appeared as Darth Vader.
Maybe the best outfit of the night was from Tim Connelly, who humorously dressed up as Anthony Edwards. Connelly rolled up to the event wearing an orange and black pair of AE 1's, an all-black Adidas sweatsuit, shades and an Atlanta Braves hat. One would have to imagine that the guys on the team got a pretty good kick out of this one.
The NBA season is a long one, and it can seem endlessly tiring at times. But it is nice to see that so many guys in the Timberwolves' locker room enjoy spending time around each other enough to get together for a little light-hearted fun early in the season. Outings like this one will only serve to grow team chemistry.
