All season long, it appears that the Minnesota Timberwolves are allergic to consistency. Following up a five-game win streak with a three-game losing streak (with each loss being by double digits) feels pretty on brand for the Wolves.
The Wolves' offense largely plagued their first two losses against the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers, but their defense was the whole story against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. Minnesota allowed 153 points, and the Clippers posted a 147.6 offensive rating -- which ranks in the 100th percentile per Cleaning the Glass.
While the Timberwolves' offense drying up at points this season is a concern, the defensive lapses have been more common.
