The Minnesota Timberwolves’ 116-107 loss to the Denver Nuggets on April 10 marked their last second night of a back-to-back of the season.
Playing at the highest level on the back end of those sets is difficult for all teams in the NBA, as it usually leads to tired legs, players resting and a lack of energy. In this way, Minnesota has decided to zag while everyone else zigs. Timberwolves Head Coach Chris Finch played his guys basically every single night, as long as they were healthy. That practice has cultivated an organizational culture of toughness and perseverance that should not go by the wayside when talking about the long list positives about a phenomenal Wolves team this season.
