Silver Linings of the Six Seed
There’s something almost poetic about how our last two SB Nation Reacts polls have aged. Not just “a little outdated.” Not just “slightly off.” Completely obliterated by reality within 72 hours. Last week, we asked whether Wolves fans would prefer the Lakers/Spurs path or the Nuggets/Thunder gauntlet. It was a fun, forward-looking exercise, the kind […]

Timberwolves 124, Pacers 104: Twin “Remember that Pixar Movie About a Fast Snail” Turbos
Some nights, you play one of the worst teams in the league, and you play down to their level. Other nights, you take care of business. Most nights, if you’re the Minnesota Timberwolves, that second option seems near impossible, but with just a few games left to go in the season and a sixth-seed spot […]

This is the second part of a two-part season recap series. Read part one here.

It is the Wolves’ third straight loss, bringing their season record to 46-32.

Which Path Would You Choose for the Timberwolves?
For months now, the Wolves and the Houston Rockets have been stuck in a hotly contested battle for the West’s middle playoffs seeds, never really separating, never really collapsing, just kind of stalking each other across the standings. And now, with the regular season finally narrowing into its last meaningful stretch, the picture is starting […]
Season Rewind: The Top Moments of the Timberwolves Season (Part One)
There have been a lot of ups and downs throughout the season for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In a lengthy 82-game NBA season, […]
76ers 115, Timberwolves 103: 86’d by the Sixers
“We realized it was a basketball game, not a football game,” Wolves assistant coach Micah Nori said coming out of the locker room at halftime on the television broadcast on Friday night.

Pistons 113, Timberwolves 108: Short-Handed Offense Comes Up Short
The Minnesota Timberwolves crushed the Dallas Mavericks in Anthony Edwards’ return and behind Ayo Dosunmu’s impressive triple-double.

With this missed game, Ant will not be eligible […]
Twin Turbos: Racing Their Way to the Playoffs
Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland weren’t even on the radar to begin the season.

I want to give a very quick shout-out to Jack Borman, who dealt with so many titles like this one and was a great sport through all of them. Everyone tag him with screenshots of this. @jrborman13 on Twitter It feels like blowout wins have been few and far between this year. I can’t actually […]
