The Minnesota Timberwolves had a golden opportunity to gain ground in the race to get out of the play-in tournament, but failed to compete defensively in a disappointing loss to the Washington Wizards. The Wolves continue to struggle with big frontlines and quick guards, and both issues reared their ugly head as Kristaps Porzingis and Ish Smith went off against the Timberwolves. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down exactly what happened, and what has to change in the next week if the Wolves are going to be competitive in the playoffs.

After all, a double-digit jump in the rankings in six months' time underscores the unreliability of such an exercise. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) discusses which teams the Wolves should be ahead of, as well as the inconsistencies in the process. Plus, a look at NBA power rankings and a preview of Wolves-Wizards.

The Minnesota Timberwolves led by as many as 27 points but had to hang on late to defeat the Houston Rockets. The Wolves put up an insane 80 points in the first half, but sloppy play on offense led to poor transition defense as Chris Finch's group allowed the Rockets to get back into the game in the fourth quarter. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) delves into the biggest issues from the game -- but also the positives from an incredibly impressive offensive first half.
