The Minnesota Timberwolves are having a great season in the NBA, with a 24-8 record that puts them at the top of the Western Conference. This is the best start to a season in franchise history, and it has surprised many people, as the team was not expected to do well. The Timberwolves made a controversial move in the off-season, trading for French center Rudy Gobert. However, this move has paid off, and the team is now thriving.
The Timberwolves have a strong home record and have not lost back-to-back games this season. Players like Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Rudy Gobert have been instrumental in the team’s success. Edwards, in particular, has been impressive, averaging 26 points per game and shooting well from three-point range and the free-throw line. The chemistry between Towns and Gobert has also been a key factor in the team’s success.
The Timberwolves’ coach, Chris Finch, has been praised for establishing a winning culture and balancing the team’s roster effectively. The team now has high expectations for the playoffs, aiming to reach the second round at least. The Timberwolves have only gone beyond the first round of the playoffs once before in 2004. With their current form, they are aiming to surpass that achievement this season.
