The Timberwolves finished their four-game season series with Western Conference rival Oklahoma City on Wednesday night at Target Center winners three times after a comparatively easy 104-88 victory that could mean something come playoff time in April.
The series’ first three games decided by a total of nine points, the Wolves led by as many as 16 points in the game’s final three minutes after a decisive third quarter changed a series so close until Wolves coach Tom Thibodeau finished Wednesday’s game with his deep reserves on the floor.
They won their third consecutive game and for the 10th time in their last 13 games, before a fifth consecutive sellout crowd, on a night when they held their opponent under 100 points for a seventh consecutive game.
