SALT LAKE CITY – For a team that hasn’t been there since 2004, the playoffs are now for a Timberwolves team that has six games remaining after Friday’s 98-85 loss at Utah.
Or so says interim head coach Sam Mitchell.
And if his team isn’t getting there the old-fashioned way, at least the Wolves could have something to say about who reaches the Western Conference playoffs and who doesn’t.
Utah, Dallas and Houston essentially are in a dead heat for the West’s final two playoff spots and the Wolves play them all in the season’s final 13 days, starting with Friday’s game at Vivant Smart Home Arena.
