LAL @ Minnesota – 01.01.18

The Lakers come to town looking to get revenge for Christmas day and play a tight game.  The young Lakers come up short in the end however due to a stifling display of defense by the Wolves.

Brooklyn will most likely be a bottom five team this year.  Home or Away the Timberwolves should consistently beat them this year.  The Nets lose in a blowout.

The Timberwolves sniff the chance to be ten games over five hundred but fall short to the new look Celtics. Kyrie Irving reminds the Timberwolves why they considered trying to give up assets in order to bring him to Minnesota.

New Orleans @ Minnesota – 01.06.17

Wolves Win: 25-16

The Pelicans start seriously considering moving Cousins to Cleveland for a package that includes Brooklyn’s pick, Tristan Thompson, and a few other players. The Timberwolves win a tightly contested game.

New York @ Minnesota – 01.12.17

Wolves Win: 27-17

The Wolves finally reach the spot of being ten games over five hundred for the first time in over a decade.  The question is if Carmelo will still be on the Knicks by this time in the season? My guess is no.

Wolves Win: 28-17

The Timberwolves get their revenge here and beat Portland in front of their home fans.  The defense shuts them down in a blowout victory.

Minnesota @ Orlando – 01.16.17

In their first matchup with Houston, they will come up short.  The Chris Paul and James Harden duo prove to be too much for the Wolves in their first meeting.

Toronto @ Minnesota – 01.20.17

At this point in the season, it is established that when you come to play at Target Center you’d better bring your A-game and Toronto doesn’t in this one.  The Timberwolves rack up another home victory.
