Finale
The Minnesota Timberwolves have won five straight and are 8-2 in their last 10 games. Those two losses came via a one possession loss to the Suns and an overtime loss to the 76ers. Beyond that, the Timberwolves have only lost by more than two possessions once in their last 23 games.
In other words, the Bucks are facing an incredibly tough test on Thursday, and one that may have been a little more appealing if it hadn’t come after a brutal loss to the Chicago Bulls.
The Bucks will have to find a positive reaction of some sort in this game, otherwise the questions surrounding the team and the pressure on Jason Kidd will only continue to mount.
