There may not be a bigger thud that an eight-game winning streak can come crashing down to than what transpired at Target Center on Monday night.
Any momentum that was carried in from a blowout win the previous night against the Utah Jazz stopped dead in its tracks as soon as the ball was tipped for the Minnesota Timberwolves. In one of the worst first halves of the season, the Wolves got themselves in a slobber knocker against a completely debilitated Indiana Pacers team lacking its top players.
