PORTLAND, Ore. – Where's a little condensation when you really need it?
The Timberwolves could have used some Saturday night when they finally met Portland 19 days after a scheduled game together at Target Center was postponed until April.
Or perhaps it would just delay the inevitable, which on Saturday was the Trail Blazers' convincing 112-100 victory at Moda Center.
Three weeks ago, the Wolves could clearly see the Western Conference's eighth and final playoff spot ahead of them fairly late in a season that still held hope.
Running on empty Saturday, they lost their sixth consecutive game, this time to a Blazers team that now has won 10 of its last 13 games and still can't catch streaking Denver for that final playoff spot.
