The Minnesota Timberwolves returned home to Target Center on Monday night following a grueling five-game Western Conference road trip that included a fight, a scheduled loss, clutch fourth quarter heroics from Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, and, most importantly, four wins that vaulted the Wolves to the top of the conference standings at 9-3.
On the other side, the New York Knicks came into Downtown Minneapolis winners in six of their last seven contests, looking to push their win streak to four as hoped to put a ribbon on a five-game road trip of their own.
