The Minnesota Timberwolves' uneven start to the season hit a new low point on Monday night. After their second straight fourth quarter collapse, Minnesota lost 117-112 to the now 5-13 Sacramento Kings.
Last Friday night, the Wolves blew an eight-point lead against the Phoenix Suns in under a minute. Likewise, on Monday night, the Wolves blew a 10-point lead in the final three minutes, in a game they controlled all night.
With this loss, the Wolves are now 3-3 in clutch games and now post the 26th-ranked clutch time offense. The 15th clutch-time net rating isn't bad, but their wins have come against the Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz, and Washington Wizards.
