Living on That Prayer ... and an Easy Schedule

Read "Prayer for Relief" to get the background, then come back and check out these thought. Done?
OK.
The Timberwolves won for the fourth straight time Wednesday. Minnesota made all the noise, blitzkrieging the Thunder 127-89.
Have the Timberwolves turned the corner thanks to some divine presence? Inspired play? What?
The answer is simply a soft schedule -- wins against Oklahoma City (5-31), Chicago (15-20), Golden State (10-26) and Memphis (11-25) tell much of the story-- combined with a stronger familiarity and connection between players and coach.
That, and Kevin McHale began sensing the "Out of a Job" recliner approaching.
It will be interesting to see how Minnesota handles Miami or Phoenix, two playoff-bound teams, next week.
McHale, see you in church.
