Up 70-41 early in the third quarter, a road win against a good Dallas Mavericks team (18-12) seemed inevitable.
Coming back from 10, 15, maybe 20 down seemed possible, but not 29.
Wait, it's the Timberwolves, who have traded away Ray Allen for Stephon Marbury, Brandon Roy for Randy Foye and O.J. Mayo for Kevin Love, drafted Will Avery, Paul Grant and Ndudi Ebi and illegally signed the definition of mediocrity, Joe Smith.
Sure enough, Dallas used a 22-2 run to cut it to nine at 72-63 and a 22-7 run to start the fourth quarter propelling it to a 107-100 win.
This game epitomized better than any other game I have ever witnessed what this franchise represents: Mismanagement and failure that perhaps CAN get worse.
