The Wolves head into the postseason as the No. 8 seed.
They’ll take on the No. 1 seeded Houston Rockets, a James Harden production that finished the season with a league-high 65 wins.
Minnesota earned a playoff berth on the final day of the season, but in the West this season, there wasn’t much separation. The difference between the third seed and eighth seed was just two games.
Wolves coach Tom Thibodeau has been courtside a long time, and while eight seeds beating one seeds hasn’t been a common occurrence, he knows anything can happen.
Back in 1998-99, the Knicks advanced all the way to the NBA Finals as an eighth seed.
