Two things can be true: it was good to see the Minnesota Timberwolves get a win after a miserable, well, season and a three-game losing streak, and the Wolves tried their hardest to throw this game away, notably giving up a 31-9 run in the fourth quarter.
It was such a beautiful first three quarters, and now, despite the win, there’s this sinking feeling that the Wolves may just be middling. They can beat good teams. They can lose to bad ones.
The only consistent thing about these Wolves is that they get into their own way.
