Out of six divisions in the NBA, the Timberwolves were part of the closest-finishing group. The top and bottom of the Northwest Division were split by just three games. The Northwest Division also happens to be the only group not to have a team under 30 wins, with the lowest-placed Denver Nuggets finishing one behind the Wolves on 46 wins.
Thankfully, the NBA playoff system doesn’t rely on Divisional standings as the NFL does, but if the Timberwolves plan on climbing their way higher up the playoff run next season, that divisional standing is likely to be a bigger deal.
