The Minnesota Timberwolves, for the first time in 13 seasons, have made it past the regular season and into the playoffs. They are the eight seed and will face the top seeded Houston Rockets in the first round.
The Rockets are the best team in the league with a 65-17 record behind another MVP-like season from James Harden. The Wolves have faced the Rockets four times this season and have lost all four games. Jimmy Butler and the Wolves will have their hands full in the first round with Harden and Chris Paul running the back court.
