The Wolves are familiar with do-or-die games.
How quickly we’ve forgotten Game 82 when the Wolves beat the Nuggets in overtime to advance to their first postseason appearance since 2004.
But Wolves wing Jimmy Butler doesn’t think that game and tonight’s Game 5, with the Wolves down 3-1, have much in common.
“We’re in a totally different environment and situation right now,” Butler said after Wednesday’s shootaround. “We just got to go out there and play basketball. Down 3-1 . . . If we do what we’re supposed to do, we can win this game.”
Houston is a tricky team loaded with weapons.
