Eight games remain in the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 2020-21 campaign, but each of them is as important to next season as they are to the present.
Clicking on all cylinders en route to a four-game winning streak, including a stretch of winning five out of their last six contests, Wolves’ star center Karl-Anthony Towns can see the impact this final stretch can have on the future.
“I think you’re seeing that we’re putting, actually, brick-by-brick together and building something special,” said Towns following Thursday’s win over the Golden State Warriors.
When Towns and D’Angelo Russell are healthy, the Timberwolves are 10-6 this season.
