The Wolves face Houston Monday night for the first time since they lost in five games to the Rockets in the 2018 playoffs. While both teams are different, it’s fair to say that one team has changed more—the Wolves.
Minnesota is playing differently than it was last year and with different personnel. However, there are still things that the core group of this team that played in that series can take away from last year’s performance.
“I think you learn a lot from it. They certainly had a great year last year. Going back through those games I thought we did a lot of good things and we were in a position to win every one of those games, except the last one that we didn’t play well in,” said coach Tom Thibodeau.
