Charlotte - Despite being down seven points with 38.8 seconds left in the game to the Hornets on the road, the Wolves came back, because they had to.
Of course, it’s not that easy. They didn't have to. They could have given up. But after losing back-to-back games after holding a lead in the fourth after major comebacks, Minnesota knew this game was an extremely valuable one. Sure, for the their record, but also for their mentality.
“It’s good to be able to talk and make fun of each other and have fun the way it’s supposed to be,” Wolves big man Karl-Anthony Towns said after the game.
