For the fifth straight season, the Timberwolves are playoff bound.<\/p>\n
Minnesota secured a top six seed on Tuesday with the combination of its win in Indiana and Phoenix\u2019s home loss to Houston.<\/p>\n
The play-in teams are now locked in as Phoenix, the Clippers, Portland and Golden State.<\/p>\n
Minnesota\u2019s seed isn\u2019t yet determined, but one more Wolves loss or Houston win will cement the Timberwolves into the No. 6 spot. That\u2019s the same position Minnesota held last season as it advanced to its second straight Western Conference Finals.<\/p>\n
The Wolves play in Orlando on Tuesday. Game 1 of Minnesota\u2019s first round series \u2014 which the Wolves will start on the road \u2014 will either be April 18 or April 19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the fifth straight season, the Timberwolves are playoff bound.
