Yeah, I am gonna pull my hair out one of these days with this team. I haven't been doing this whole thing with sports for as long as some of y'all and I honestly don't know how you have done this for decades.

In case you didn't hear, the Wolves lost in LA in overtime after leading by 15 going into the 4th quarter.

Final: Minnesota Timberwolves 102 Los Angeles Lakers 108

Statcap:
Starters:
T. Prince 14 pts, 5-11 FG, 4-7 3PT, 3 REB
K. Anderson 12 pts, 5-14 FG, 2-5 3PT, 5 REB, 13 REB
K. Towns 24 pts, 8-12 FG, 2-4 3PT, 11 REB, 5 AST
M. Conley 23 pts, 7-11 FG, 6-8 3PT, 4 REB, 4 AST
A. Edwards 9 pts, 3-17 FG, 0-9 3PT, 8 REB, 5 AST
Bench:
N. Knight 0 pts, 0-1 FG, 0-1 3PT, 1 REB
J. McLauglin 0 pts, 0-5 FG, 0-3 3PT
N. Alexander-Walker 11 pts, 4-5 FG, 1-1 3PT, 4 REB, 2 AST
J. Nowell 9 pts, 4-7 FG, 1-3 3PT, 1 REB, 1 AST

Game Recap:
Well, the Wolves started out playing very well. They weathered the storm and only trailed once in the first half. They went into halftime leading by 11. Contrary to popular belief, the Wolves played very well in the 3rd quarter. Even at the end they were leading. The team got to 4:13 left in the 4th quarter leading by 5. Unfortunately they couldn't score anymore. Minnesota didn't make a field goal until overtime. Somehow, Mike Conley got free throws at the end of regulation to tie it. But it really wouldn't mean much as the Wolves then couldn't make any shots in overtime.
This was really such a typical game for this team this year. They play really well for 2 or 3 quarters and then just implode for the ones that matter. However, for missing their two best defenders, the team played really well and limited the Lakers to 108 points including overtime. I guess we will just have to settle for a home game on Friday.

Up Next
Now the Wolves will wait to see who wins the 9 vs. 10 game between New Orleans and Oklahoma City. I would presume the game will be at 7 PM on Friday, on TNT.
