Timberwolves' hot start fades against relentless Warriors

A brutal final leg of the Timberwolves season got off on the wrong foot Tuesday at Target Center.

Playing a Golden State Warriors team playing on a second straight night, the Wolves showed a little life in the first quarter but eventually got booted by the defending league champions 117-107.

With a slew of playoff teams in their immediate future — when Tuesday’s game started, nine of their final 12 opponents were in playoff position in the two conferences — the question now is how many more wins can the Wolves (32-39) find?

With the Warriors raining down threes (they were 19-for-42), the Wolves had their six-game home winning streak snapped while losing for the fourth straight time overall.
