The Timberwolves, on Saturday night against Dallas, will try to accomplish something that hasn’t been done around here in a long, long time: win four consecutive games.
The Wolves haven’t done that in nearly five years. The last four-game win streak came in December 2012, back when Nikola Pekovic’s foot was still healthy and Kevin Love was still part of the franchise’s future.
Things have changed. While a seemingly small accomplishment, it’s a bit of testament to where this franchise is, and where it might be going.
“This is the best team we’ve had since I’ve been here,’’ said Andrew Wiggins.
