After trailing by 17 points in the fourth quarter, tying the game, and losing on a Carmelo Anthony jumper with less than three seconds left on Wednesday night at Target Center, the Timberwolves found themselves in a similar spot on Friday in New York.
This time, the Wolves trailed by as many as 16 points in the first half and 10 points at the start of the fourth quarter, and seemingly couldn’t trim the lead to single digits.
Until, the bench showed up.
What’s that, you say? The Wolves bench, which has been among the worst in the league all season long, got Minnesota back into the game?
