Wolves go big to beat Thunder in play-in game, get 8th seed | |

That's how they got in the playoffs, in the last possible game. Towns had 28 points and 11 rebounds, and the Timberwolves muscled and hustled their way past the Oklahoma City Thunder 120-95 to finish the play-in tournament on Friday night. MORE |
