Sheesh, when did the Minnesota Timberwolves become a beast in the West while the Golden State Warriors are clinging to a play-in spot?
The Wolves are currently 1.5 games out of the top spot in the Western Conference, giving their fanbase renewed hope after years of mediocrity. Meanwhile, the Dubs are 1.5 games out of the 11th spot in the standings, which means they have a thin margin of error between a play-in tournament berth and missing the big show all together.
That makes their competition today PRETTY IMPORTANT FOR BOTH BALLCLUBS.
