For a normal game, I would start this article out by saying that the Minnesota Timberwolves just had their biggest win of the season over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday, setting themselves up for two postseason games after a rocky season that had many questioning if that would even happen.
But that would be burying the lede in historical fashion.
Where does one even begin to unpack the series of events that concluded with the Wolves grinding out a win at Target Center that vaulted them into the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference, and set up a second date with LeBron James, Anthony Davis, D’Angelo Russell and the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday?
