From the AP recap:
The loss, which ended Minnesota’s two-game winning streak, was the
team’s 60th of the season. The Timberwolves finish this year’s campaign
with a home game against Milwaukee on Wednesday.
 
"We tried to hang around — we were right there at the end and
they just made some plays," Minnesota coach Randy Wittman said. "Their
bench just shot the lights out on us."

 

 
 
Wolves record: 21-60
 
 
 
 
 
6 Times in the Wolves’ 19 seasons that they’ve lost 60 or more games.
 
 
 
The Wolves’ defeat on Tuesday ended a two-game road winning streak and
guaranteed they will enter the May 20 draft lottery with no worse than
the fourth-most combinations to win the No. 1 overall pick. Thus they
will have their choice of two potential franchise-changing college
freshmen, Kansas State forward Michael Beasley and Memphis guard
Derrick Rose.
 
Whether the Wolves own a 15.6 percent or 11.9 percent chance at winning
in a game of chance will depend upon, barring a Memphis victory at
Portland late Tuesday night, the outcome of their season finale tonight
against Milwaukee and a Grizzlies game in Denver.

 

In Al Jefferson, the team got one of the best young
low-post players in the NBA in exchange for Garnett, traded to the
Boston Celtics last summer. Jefferson had 30 points and nine rebounds
against Detroit.
 
"He reminds me a lot of how Elton Brand was in
Chicago," Saunders said. "You build around him and he’ll score for you
and rebound, but he can’t do it all by himself."
