After beating Sacramento last night for their sixth consecutive victory, the formerly slumping Minnesota Timberwolves are now in first place in the Western Conference with just three games left in the season. At this rate it looks like another first-round playoff exit is highly unlikely (since they'll probably playing Houston or Utah), though it's always possible they'll suffer four major injuries in two days and then lose to awful teams (see: the Twins).
Another thing I forgot to mention from my Minnesota trip- they're really doing the hard sell on their "Kevin Garnett For MVP" campaign, putting up "KG: MVP" signs all over town and handing out shirts at the games. Not that he doesn't deserve it...
