WASHINGTON – Wednesday gave the Timberwolves a chance for a redo following an embarrassing loss to the Hornets on Monday. They were again playing one of the worst teams in the league, this time the Wizards, and were without floor general and adult in the room, point guard Mike Conley, who was out because of an illness.
A night like Wednesday would again test their maturity, and they did just enough to not fail in a 118-107 victory over the Wizards.
The Wolves trailed 59-57 at halftime on 36% shooting before getting their act together in the second half.
