Saturday had to feel like deja vu for the Timberwolves and their fans. After complete meltdowns against the Suns and Kings to begin the three-game losing streak they were on, no lead could feel safe.
Once again, Minnesota blew a late lead on Saturday, this time against the Celtics. The Timberwolves exorcised their demons though and held on for the win.
