A franchise that owned a 16-game losing streak twice in its history, these Timberwolves now haven't lost more two games consecutively since 2021 turned to 2022.
They ensured that this time with Friday's 116-95 home victory over the Mavericks. It came four days after a two-point loss in Dallas and two days after a disappointing home loss to NBA-best Phoenix.
"We got the job done," Wolves star center Karl-Anthony Towns said. "I'm very proud that after adversity we responded in a big way. The one thing I like about this team so much is this team holds grudges.
