All things considered, this was probably a fitting end to a disappointing season for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
With a chance to knock divisional rival Denver out of the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference playoffs, the Wolves led by six points heading to the fourth quarter and by 12 points with under four minutes left in the game. But the Nuggets finished things off with a 16-0 run and cemented the second seed in the West.
The Wolves played without Karl-Anthony Towns for the second-straight game as he sat out with knee inflammation. Andrew Wiggins played like a man possessed, and while his final line of 25 points on 20 shots isn’t all that impressive, he was good all night long and should have been going to the free throw line with a chance to take the lead in the final minute of the game.
