The Minnesota Timberwolves have generally played solid basketball over the past week or so, but it still hasn't translated to wins, and Saturday night at Target Center was no exception.
The Wolves played their fifth consecutive game against a surefire playoff team and suffered their fifth consecutive loss. They were competitive throughout, however, leading for a good portion of the game before falling apart midway through the fourth quarter and getting down by 22 at one point in the final frame.
Minnesota was up by a 39-32 margin after the first quarter and still held a four-point lead at the halftime.
