The most successful season in Minnesota Timberwolves history ended tonight, as the Wolves tonight lost Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals to the L.A. Lakers, thus dropping the series four games to two.
A tough loss? Certainly. But the Wolves should be proud of themselves- they won two playoff series this year, which is two more than in the previous 14 years of the franchise's history. Also, they managed to win two games against LA, one of which snapped their 17-game winning streak in elimination games, and looked better against the Lakers than the Spurs did.
With most if not all of the team returning next year, and Kevin Garnett beginning a new six-year contract, things are looking good for the franchise, especially with the Lakers- and possibly the Kings and Mavericks- breaking up their teams this offseason. As for the next round, I'll be rooting loudly for whoever comes out of the East.
