The Minnesota Timberwolves and their fans are currently experiencing the best stretch of basketball in franchise history. They have made two straight Western Conference Finals for the first time ever, and a third consecutive could be in the cards as the team will surely compete once again in a stacked Western Conference.
But can they fly any higher? The Wolves were dispatched with relative ease by the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are likely to be just as powerful this year (and for many years to come). Meanwhile, the Wolves are deploying the strategy of running things back and hoping for the best — a strategy they'll quickly realize will not get the job done against the best of the best.
