BOSTON - The Boston Celtics came out of the cold Friday night at TD Garden and warmed up enough to win their fifth consecutive game and their 32nd already this season, 91-84 over the Timberwolves.
The Wolves hadn't lost consecutive games since before Thanksgiving, when they lost back-to-back night to Detroit at home one night and at Charlotte the next night.
On Friday, they followed Wednesday's 98-97 loss at Brooklyn by allowing the Celtics a second-quarter comeback from seven points behind.
Friday's game went on after the NHL's Bruins game Thursday night at TD Garden was canceled after a Eastern seaboard snowstorm dumped more than a foot of snow over parts of the area and caused coastal flooding.
