Despite dominating second quarter, Timberwolves lose to Orlando on buzzer-beater
Timberwolves guard Jarrett Culver (23) put up a second quarter shot after driving past Orlando Magic center Khem BirchWolves coach Ryan Sauders talked about it before Wednesday's game with the Orlando Magic at Target Center. His young Wolves team had to learn to handle both really good stretches and really difficult ones.
Man, was he right.
Up 20 late in the second quarter, the Wolves lost 97-96 on Cole Anthony's buzzer-beating three-pointer.
It was, in one game, perhaps the Wolves' best stretch of the season and their worst collapse in recent memory, losing a season—high 20-point lead.
Up by 13 with 6:33 left, the Wolves were out-scored 19-5 the rest of the way.
