Celtics at Wolves: Beware the Ides of March
Where: Target Center — Minneapolis, Minnesota
When: 7:00 pm CST (TV coverage on TNT)
Why: Because after five days without Wolves basketball, we are all going through withdrawals.
It’s March 8th and the Minnesota Timberwolves are facing a must-win situation.
When’s the last time you can remember the above sentence being a real thing? Despite having their most wins at this period of the season since 2004, the Wolves come into tonight in desperate need of a victory. How is that possible? Well, primarily because the “wild, wild west” has never been wilder:
Top four seeds in the West have won a combined 39 straight games
1. Rockets: 16 straight
2. Warriors: 6 straight
3. Blazers: 8 straight
