Many NBA franchises would lean heavily on a list of playoff games to find the top-20 individual player performances in each respective organizations history — not so much for the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves haven’t seen the playoffs since 2004. Not only that, there have only been two playoff series wins in franchise history, both coming during the run to the Western Conference Finals in 2004.
That means that there simply isn’t much to choose from, and this list of 20 performances will pale in comparison to some of the organizations that have enjoyed legitimate playoff success. A 40-point regular season game isn’t as important as, say, an efficient 30-point playoff performance, but we’ll make do with what we have.
So enjoy the list. While there’s predictably a lot of Kevin Garnett and Kevin Love, there’s also a few surprises along the way.
