The Minnesota Timberwolves entered Wednesday night just three games out of the No. 8 playoff spot in the Western Conference. With a week full of winnable games and a win over Sacramento on Monday night in their pocket, it was looking like the Wolves could gain some ground.
Unfortunately, the Atlanta Hawks had other ideas. Despite the Wolves building a lead that hovered near double digits for much of the game and reached 13 points early in the fourth quarter, the Hawks battled back to force overtime and sweep the season series against Minnesota.
This was a fun game to watch until crunch time became sloppy for both teams.
