Through 14 games of the season, the Minnesota Timberwolves currently boast a 9-5 record, among the elite in the Western Conference and number one in the Northwest Division. Both of these places are unfamiliar to Wolves’ fans the last few years.
In fact, this time last year we possessed a measly 4-10 record, without much to show for ourselves.
But this year, things are different. The Timberwolves are winning games over competitive teams like the Thunder and Spurs, and asserting themselves as a force to be reckoned with, even in the top-heavy Western Conference.
Karl-Anthony Towns has continued on his path to stardom, asserting his place on the throne of the Timberwolves franchise, whilst Andrew Wiggins has continued to improve, knocking down game-winning shots when called upon.
