Wizards 132, Wolves 114: Flat Out Outcompeted

MINNEAPOLIS — They might not have to kiss the sixth seed goodbye quite yet, but time is running out for the Wolves.

They picked an awful time to lay an egg in the most critical game of the season in what was another complete lackluster defensive performance in the 132-114 loss to the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night. That’s now 130 or more points they’ve allowed in four of the last five games as the defense has fallen off a cliff.

“We didn’t look like a team that was trying to make the playoffs,” said Karl-Anthony Towns.
