For the fifth straight season, the Timberwolves are playoff bound.
Minnesota secured a top six seed on Tuesday with the combination of its win in Indiana and Phoenix’s home loss to Houston.
The play-in teams are now locked in as Phoenix, the Clippers, Portland and Golden State.
Minnesota’s seed isn’t yet determined, but one more Wolves loss or Houston win will cement the Timberwolves into the No. 6 spot. That’s the same position Minnesota held last season as it advanced to its second straight Western Conference Finals.
The Wolves play in Orlando on Tuesday. Game 1 of Minnesota’s first round series — which the Wolves will start on the road — will either be April 18 or April 19.
