As the dead of winter has settled in Minnesota, so another losing streak has beset the Timberwolves.
They hit their sixth consecutive loss after falling 107-100 to the shorthanded Nuggets on Monday at Target Center.
“I didn’t even know it was six,” guard Josh Okogie said.
This streak is topped only by the 11-gamer the Wolves faced through much of December, one that seemed at times like it may never end. This hasn’t reached that territory yet, and there is a winnable game upcoming Wednesday at Chicago, but if the Wolves can’t pull that one off, they’re looking at two games against Houston and Oklahoma City, each of whom has beaten the Wolves lately.
