Well, that wasn’t ideal.
As you’re well aware by now, the Minnesota Timberwolves continued their record-setting pace of never moving up in the NBA Lottery, instead falling a spot to #11. While continued sadness was an expected outcome for any longtime Wolves fan, I don’t think anyone could have seen the ping pong balls falling exactly like they did. To make matters worse, while the Wolves fell one spot, all three teams around them (Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, and New Orleans Pelicans) actually moved UP into the top four.
