Last Game: Thursday, Feb. 7 – Orlando 122, Minnesota 112 Terrence Ross came off the bench to score a season-high 32 points and Nik Vučević chipped in 21 points and 10 rebounds to help Orlando down the Timberwolves, 122-112, on Thursday night at the Amway Center. The Magic led 32-31 after one quarter, but back-to-back 3-pointers from Dario Šarić and Isaiah Canaan put Minnesota on top 39-38. Three consecutive triples from Ross highlighted a barrage that saw Orlando sink 11 of their final 12 shots in the first half to build a 71-58 advantage. The margin remained in double figures throughout the third quarter, cresting at 102-85 on Wes Iwundu's long-range strike in the closing seconds, and the Magic took their largest lead when Ross opened the fourth with another 3-pointer. Karl-Anthony Towns capped a 7-0 rally that pulled the Wolves to within 117-108 with 2:39 remaining, but they missed two opportunities to cut further into the lead and Ross' sixth trey of the night ended the comeback bid. Aaron Gordon finished with 19 points and Evan Fournier had 18 for the Magic while Towns led Minnesota with 27 points and 11 rebounds, and Andrew Wiggins contributed 23 points and nine boards.

Karl-Anthony Towns' three-point play pulled the Wolves to within 43-42 at the 5:15 mark of the second, but Conley sank three 3-pointers in the final minute to rebuild Memphis' lead to 66-54 at halftime. Luol Deng and Gorgui Dieng combined to score the final 10 points of the third quarter as Minnesota shaved its deficit to 85-83, only to see the Grizzlies open the fourth with nine unanswered points of their own before Jerryd Bayless ended the drought with 7:34 to play. A pair of Dario Šarić triples helped rally the Wolves to within 106-102, and Towns' free throws tied it with 15.7 seconds left. Holiday was then fouled while rebounding a Conley miss, setting up the game-winning points.

SCHEDULE NOTES: Tuesday's loss at Memphis kicked off a four-week stretch in which Minnesota plays eight of 11 away from Target Center… Tonight concludes the seventh of 13 sets of back-to-back games for the Wolves; only Atlanta has also played as few as six such pairings entering this evening… The Jan. 20 triumph vs. Phoenix finished an eight-game run for Minnesota that featured six at Target Center (dating to Jan. 4 vs. Orlando)… Tuesday wrapped up a month-long run in which the Wolves played 13 of 14 vs. Western rivals; after the All-Star Break, eight of their first 10 (through Mar. 10 vs. New York) will be vs. Eastern opponents… Minnesota opened its 30th NBA campaign with a 112-108 loss on Oct. 17 in San Antonio, the fifth straight season for the Wolves to start on the road…

MARGINAL NOTES: Tuesday's 108-106 loss at Memphis was Minnesota's ninth game to be decided by four points or fewer in its last 14 (16th overall, 6-10 in those); they had 17 such games in 2017-18 (8-9)… The 42-point spread Jan. 15 at Philadelphia equals the Wolves' 2nd-largest losing margin of all-time; they suffered a 48-point loss (139-91) on Nov. 14, 2014 at New Orleans… Philadelphia hit 59.8% on Jan. 15, the top figure vs. the Wolves in 2018-19; Minnesota tumbles to 0-124 all-time when the opposition hits better than 56%… The L.A.

THE ROAD GOES ON FOREVER: The 120-105 win at the L.A. Lakers on Jan. 24 was Minnesota's sixth in nine road starts (capping a month-long run that began Dec. 23 at Oklahoma City), having started the year 2-13 away from Target Center… The Wolves strung together a season-best three consecutive road victories (114-112 at Oklahoma City, Dec. 23; 119-94 at Chicago, Dec. 26; 113-104 at Miami, Dec. 30) before suffering a 123-114 defeat in New Orleans on New Year's Eve… Minnesota posted its first road victory of 2018-19 with the 112-102 verdict on Nov. 23 at Brooklyn, ending a season-opening eight-game road drought that was the longest in franchise history; the Wolves started 0-7 away from Target Center in 2009-10… Sacramento overcame a 12-point deficit to beat the Wolves, 121-110, on Nov. 9 at the Golden 1 Center, one of four times this year they've let a double-digit lead slip away…

POINT PARADE: Philadelphia erupted for 149 points on Jan. 15, its highest total since 1990 and matching the 2nd-highest ever by a Wolves opponent; Phoenix poured in 152 on Mar. 16, 2010… Minnesota (80) and Sacramento (78) combined for 158 points after intermission on Dec. 12, the NBA's top-scoring half since Houston (94) and Denver (68) produced 162 in the 2nd half on Jan. 10, 1991 at McNichols Arena (a 156-133 Rockets win)… Minnesota has tallied 120+ points on 13 occasions in 2018-19, tying its 2nd-best total for any season (16 in 2013-14); Golden State currently leads the NBA this year with 25 120+ efforts… Minnesota suffered a 140-136 loss on Oct. 20 in Dallas… The combined 276 points mark the highest-scoring regulation game in club history; the previous record was 272, set in a 142-130 loss at Houston on Feb. 25, 2017… Minnesota went 32-for-40 from the FT line Jan. 8 at Oklahoma City, equaling its season high for attempts; the Wolves rank 4th in FTs made (19.6 per game) and 6th in FT accuracy (79.6%)…

THE TRIPLE LINDY: Philadelphia went 21-for-43 from beyond the arc on Jan. 15, one short of the most three-pointers ever made by a Wolves opponent and the league-leading sixth game this season in which Minnesota has permitted 19+ treys… The Wolves are 16-3 this year when the opposition makes 10 or fewer threes (9-26 when allowing more than 10)… San Antonio finished 19-for-33 (57.6%) from three-point distance on Dec. 21, two nights after Detroit shot 20-for-48 (9-for-13 in the 4th quarter)… The Wolves drilled 14 three-pointers in the Dec. 23 victory at Oklahoma City, firing at a season-best 51.9% clip; it was the first time in December they'd outscored the opposition from beyond the arc… Minnesota set a franchise record by making 20 three-pointers Nov. 7 in L.A.; the previous mark of 19 occurred last Feb. 7 at Cleveland… The Wolves tied a franchise record by sinking eight threes in the 4th quarter of the Oct. 29 win over the Lakers; all of their field goals in that quarter were from long distance (8-for-11, compared with 0-for-10 from inside the arc)…

The Wolves built a 74-54 advantage on Dec. 28 before Milwaukee rallied, the 15th time in franchise history they've let a lead of 20+ get away and one of a dozen games they lost a year ago after taking a lead into the 4th quarter.

* * * WOLF TRACKS: Minnesota finished 2017-18 with a 47-35 record, a 16-game improvement from a year ago – the 2nd-largest increase in the NBA last season behind Philadelphia's +24 (28-54 to 52-30) – and a 31-game upgrade on its 16-66 mark in 2014-15, trailing only the Sixers (+34) during that span, as well… Last year's 16-win increase is also the best full-season bump in franchise history (+14 from 1995-96 to 1996-97); the Wolves doubled their win total from the lockout-shortened 1998-99 campaign (25-25) to 1999-2000 (50-32)… The final record is the seventh time in eight seasons Minnesota has improved on its previous year's victory total… The Wolves clinched the Western Conference's final playoff berth with their 112-106 overtime win vs. Denver in the regular season finale (Apr. 11) at Target Center… It's Minnesota's first trip to the postseason since reaching the Western Conference Finals in 2003-04, ending what was the NBA's longest playoff drought at 13 seasons – Sacramento (12) now tops that list – as well as the 2nd-longest in league history behind the Clippers franchise's 15-year siesta from 1976-77 through 1990-91 while drifting from Buffalo to San Diego to Los Angeles…

SEASON EBB & FLOW: The Wolves began the year 10-5, climbing above .500 (at 4-3) with their 125-122 OT win at Miami on Oct. 30 and staying there for the final 163 days of the 2017-18 season… Minnesota enjoyed a winning record for only a combined 113 calendar days during the previous decade (2007-08 through 2016-17), topped by 48 days in 2013-14 and 39 in 2012-13… The Wolves fashioned a 12-3 record from Dec. 8 through Jan. 14 – bookended by home wins over Portland and highlighted by road victories at Denver (Dec. 20) and Indiana (Dec. 31) as well as a 5-0 homestand that featured consecutive wins vs. New Orleans, Cleveland and Oklahoma City – to climb 13 games above .500 at 29-16… It's Minnesota's most prolific in-season 15-game stretch since closing 2003-04 with 12 wins in its final 15 (capped by a nine-game winning streak)… The Wolves carried the West's #3 seed into March, when consecutive losses at Portland and Utah dropped them out of 1st place in the Northwest Division and into 6th in the conference overall…
