Usually, playing on your home court is beneficial to a team. It’s why teams fight for playoff seeding, so they can have homecourt advantage in the postseason for as long as possible.
When it comes to the Timberwolves and Kings, that hasn’t been the case. That’s until Friday, when Minnesota defeated Sacramento on their home court on Friday, the first time in their last 12 meetings against each other that the home team came out on top.
First time the home team won in nearly three years
On Friday night, the Timberwolves secured their fourth consecutive victory to improve their record to 8-4 on the season.
