DENVER – The Timberwolves' playoff future gained some clarity after their 116-107 loss to Denver on Wednesday night.
They no longer control their destiny for the No. 1 seed in the conference, as Denver can now clinch it by winning its final two games.
But while that may have been a blow in the moment, the Wolves didn't seem too down in the locker room after losing Wednesday's game. Anthony Edwards said the team cared about it before the game, but didn't care as much after now that it lost. Mike Conley made the points that no matter what, a first-round matchup is going to be tough regardless of seed.
