Timberwolves Power Rankings: Tough loss blemishes perfect week

Among Super Bowl festivities, famous courtside appearances and some brand spanking new uniforms, the Minnesota Timberwolves actually played three games of basketball this week.

After a dreadful power rankings edition last week, the Wolves bounced back with a good one this time around, finishing just one Lebron James turnaround buzzer-beating dagger away from a perfect week.

Minnesota and Cleveland entered into an all-out firefight in the final power rankings game, burying a season-high 40 triples combined on the night. It took a LeBron James game-saving block and game-winning shot to decide an overtime thriller. The game finished 140-138.
