What a game.
Despite being down 14 points at halftime, the shorthanded Timberwolves dug deep and grinded out a 131-130 overtime win over the Golden State Warriors on Friday night at Target Center.
The Wolves have now beaten the Warriors, the NBA champions three of the last four seasons, in each of the last four seasons.
It would have been easy for the injury-riddled Wolves to come out flat in this game, given their injury situation. That would have been the approach taken by most NBA teams who are eliminated from playoff contention.
But they didn’t and despite being down 14 at half, the Wolves outscored the Warriors 32-18 in the third quarter which ignited a second-half comeback in a game in which NBA Commissioner Adam Silver was in attendance.
