The Timberwolves had their share of issues in January, among them, turnovers, fourth-quarter offense and the immaturity that was present so much last season crept back at some inopportune times.

With the calendar flipped to February, all those issues were present as the Wolves blew a 17-point first-half lead in a 108-106 loss to the Magic.

The Wolves shot just 25% in the fourth quarter, committed 17 turnovers on the night and had moments of immaturity, like Anthony Edwards picking up a technical in a tie game with 6 minutes, 59 seconds to play.

The Wolves were 2-for-12 to open the fourth and trailed 103-101 with 1:51 to play when Mike Conley, who was 1-for-8, missed a floater.
