The Minnesota Timberwolves are now 17-12 after Thursday night’s destruction of the Sacramento Kings. They haven’t made it to the playoffs since the 2003-2004 season when they made it to the Western Conference Finals. That is currently the longest drought in the NBA.
Will making the playoffs alone make this season a success?
The answer to that is yes and no.
Anytime you have gone that long without making it to the playoffs, you have that extra desire to want to get back. It would be very exciting for owner Glen Taylor and the fans, especially.
