The Timberwolves lost in overtime in Randy Wittman’s Minnesota coaching debut on Wednesday, but at least they finally showed some fight and we look for them to put an end to their five-game losing streak tonight.
That three-point loss in Portland was certainly a marked improvement for the Wolves, who had lost the first four games of this skid by a whopping average of -16.8 points! It is also encouraging that Kevin Garnett has had his two best games of the season since serving a one-game suspension, scoring 32 and 31 points respectively. The T-Wolves have a winning 11-10 ATS record on the road this season, and they are also 3-1 both SU and ATS in the last four head-to-head meetings with Seattle.
The Sonics are coming off of a 117-112 home loss to Denver, and they have not done a good job of protecting their home court this year going just 12-10 SU and 9-12-1 ATS in this building. After playing better defense than expected earlier this season, the Sonics have now reverted back to bad habits allowing over 100 points in eight of their last ten games, with five of those opponents scoring 111 points or more!
