Timberwolves react to 50-win milestone
Chris Finch, Rudy Gobert, Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid react after the Timberwolves got their 50th win of the season Tuesday night, the fastest team to do it in franchise history.
The Timberwolves are currently 51-23 and in the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference. They are four games ahead of the L.A. Clippers for the No. 4 spot, and just one game out of the top spot with eight games to play. The Timberwolves are in the Western Conference Playoffs for the third straight season, but will avoid the NBA’s Play-In series.
Minnesota is likely to have home court for at least one series, and is 26-10 at Target Center this season. Right now, it’s a three-way race between the Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets for the No. 1 spot in the West.
The Timberwolves are home for five of their final eight games, starting Tuesday night against the Houston Rockets. They host the Toronto Raptors Wednesday night. They close out the regular season April 14 against the Phoenix Suns in a game that could have playoff seeding implications.
