After a brutal road/home back-to-back and falling just short of an improbable victory against the defending champs, Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves looks to right the ship in a Friday night matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The two days of rest between Tuesday’s grueling matchup and Friday’s game are a warm welcome to the Wolves. They had a difficult end to a six-game road trip, as after the Wolves beat the Utah Jazz on Monday night they had to travel back to Minnesota (and lose an hour of sleep) ahead of a heavyweight bout against one of the best and hottest teams in the NBA, the Denver Nuggets.
