The Minnesota Timberwolves became the last team to endure back-to-back defeats in the ongoing 2023-24 season. Emerging as the season’s biggest surprise, they have commanded the top spot in the Western Conference for the longest time. Despite Anthony Edwards dropping an impressive 35 points, the Wolves found themselves overpowered by Zion Williamson. This led to a challenging second quarter, trailing 32-22, and a tough third quarter, falling behind 33-25. Consequently, they entered the fourth quarter with a double-digit deficit.
