The Minnesota Timberwolves have had a slightly bumpy road over the last couple games. A tough loss to the Detroit Pistons was followed by a bad loss to the Charlotte Hornets. Both the Pistons and Hornets are fairly good teams, so it is not as if the Wolves were losing to the NBA cellar-dwellers, but the games were certainly winnable ones.
Tonight, the Wolves will hopefully find a slightly easier matchup in the Orlando Magic. The Magic sprinted out to a 6-2 record to start the season, which included victories over the Cleveland Cavaliers and the San Antonio Spurs, but the team has since lost five games straight.
