DALLAS — One of the revelatory statistics about the Timberwolves' 17-5 start to the season is that this many games into the season, the Wolves have yet to lose consecutive games.
So if the pattern holds, Thursday's game at Dallas should go in the win column after the Wolves lost Monday in New Orleans.
But Wolves fans should brace themselves, especially over this next stretch of games. For those fans who may have been hesitant to buy in to the Wolves' early-season success, these next 15 games may not produce the same rate of success that the team's first 22 games did.
