As the final seconds of the Timberwolves' 114-108 overtime victory over Denver on Sunday were ticking away, the Target Center crowd began chanting: "Wolves in seven. Wolves in seven. Wolves in seven."
One win and the fans want history.
The Wolves staved off elimination Sunday, denying the Nuggets — the top-seeded team in the Western Conference — a 4-0 sweep.
It's one step.
After the game, nobody in the locker room was talking about winning in seven. Why would they? No NBA team has ever come back from an 0-3 hole to win a playoff series.
