Timberwolves remaining upbeat despite ninth consecutive loss

DENVER – Not all losses in a nine-game losing streak are created equal.

There are those that make you angry, like the one the Timberwolves had in Oklahoma City when they relinquished a late lead in a crazy finish. There are those that cause self-reflection, like when the Wolves lost a few days later in Phoenix and held a team meeting afterward.

Then there are those like Friday in Denver, when the Wolves lost 109-100.

They were without Karl-Anthony Towns, who missed his second consecutive game because of a knee injury. Denver started on fire, hitting 12 of their first 13 shots, then caught fire again late in the third and early in the fourth quarter.
