For just the second time in franchise history the Minnesota Timberwolves have advanced to the second round in the Western Conference playoffs. They did so via a commanding sweep of the Phoenix Suns in Round 1 and are looking for more as their prowl for a championship continues.
These two teams definitely have some history between themselves. In 2018, the Wolves beat the Denver Nuggets in the final game of the regular season by a score of 112-106 in overtime to break the 14-year playoff drought and clinch the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference.
