It took about a quarter for the Timberwolves to warm up at Target Center Sunday night.
Maybe, like the fans — or all of Minnesota — they were catching their collective breath after the Vikings’ breathless finish Sunday afternoon.
Whatever.
After a lackluster first 12 minutes that saw them fall behind visiting Portland by two points, the Wolves took control with a 14-0 run early in the second quarter, cruising to a 120-103 victory over Portland.
What a homestand.
The Wolves completed their third-ever five-win homestand and just their second 5-0 homestand, the last coming in January 2001.
