Two teams hold a 3-0 lead in the final round of the NBA Playoffs before the Finals, and the 2022-23 season is nearing a close. What figured to be two close contests in the Western and Eastern Conference Finals have quickly turned into blowouts in favor of the Nuggets and Heat.
As the Minnesota Timberwolves make their preparations for next season, they are no doubt keeping up with the action in the playoffs to a degree as well. Possibly the most relevant remaining team to Timberwolves fans is the Lakers, due to the trade they both partook in at the February trade deadline.
