This was the point at which the schedule was supposed to tilt the Timberwolves’ way.
Hmm.
Battling like crazy for playoff position in the NBA’s Western Conference , with the regular season dwindling away, at home against a Memphis Grizzlies team that had lost 23 of its past 24 games …
Again: At home, against a team that had won one game since Jan. 29, the Wolves were out-muscled much of the night and out-shot pretty much all night in a rather shocking 101-93 loss that dropped the Wolves (42-33) into the eighth and final spot in the Western Conference playoff race, a half-game behind Utah.
