Timberwolves shockingly lead the league in crucial stat

Through 25 games, the Minnesota Timberwolves are sixth in the West with a 16-9 record. The record probably should be even better, but back-to-back late meltdowns against the Suns and Kings on November 21 and 24 are listed in the L column.

They saw recent late leads in the fourth quarter against the Clippers and Warriors vanish (although they did find a way to win both). The narrative surrounding the Timberwolves is that you need to hold your breath and can’t relax in the fourth quarter when they hold the lead. Despite this, Minnesota actually leads the league in clutch field goal percentage.
