On Thursday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves exploded into the 2024 All-Star break with a 37-point win over the Portland Trail Blazers. That was the team's fourth straight win of 12 or more points and their 13th win of 20 or more points on the season, an NBA-best. 55 games in, the Wolves sit content with their 39 wins, a franchise record for most wins at the All-Star break. Just getting to that amount of games in the left-hand column through an entire season has been difficult for Minnesota over the years. There have been 21 seasons where the Timberwolves failed to reach 39 wins by the end of the regular season.
