Wolves Drop Games 2 and 3 to Fall to Series Point

A sad ending to a decent season is most likely coming.

I am not going to state the stats for both games, just gonna move on.

Game Summary:
Minnesota had better games in 2 and 3 then they did in Game 1. But they just weren't quite enough. In Game 2, the Wolves looked awful in the first half, but scored 42 points in the 3rd quarter to reduce the deficit to double digits. However, they fell short in the 4th quarter to lose the game.
In Game 3, Minnesota had a good fight, but just got out shot by the Nuggets for the final 10 minutes. Anthony Edwards tried his best to will the Wolves to a win, but it just wasn't enough. 

What I have learned from these games is that Minnesota seems to be too broken to carve out a competitive series against the top seeded Nuggets. Now, contrary to popular belief, this isn't the end of the world. I never felt the Wolves needed to win this series or be competitive to keep their moderate success alive over the last two seasons. Is it a step down from last postseason? Sure, but that could have been expected given that the team traded away 3 key pieces and added a game changing piece in trades. They also lost their star big man for 52 games, and lost their All-NBA defender and potential 6th man due to injury right before the regular season ended. This is a significantly hindered Wolves team trying to claw their way to a playoff win. I really hope they win Game 4 to give the fans at Target Center something for their money and emotion. It kind of is an embarrassment to get swept, so losing in 5 isn't so bad. I will touch on this more in a season review later, but the Wolves don't necessarily change trajectory after one failed playoff run.

Lets hope they find some success in Game 4 to bring this thing to a Game 5 in Denver!
