The Minnesota Timberwolves have suffered from a series of issues this season but they have been looking really competitive lately.
The last month has been very kind to the Timberwolves and their numbers show they are a rising team in their conference.
According to StatMuse, they have been first in net rating, third in offense, and sixth in defense over the last month and have gone 7-0 during that time.
Are the Timberwolves peaking at the perfect time and can they keep it up as the postseason approaches?

The Timberwolves are the seventh seed in the West with a 39-29 record.
That means the last few weeks of the regular season will be a battle for a spot in the playoffs.
But if they keep playing like this, they can secure their place and possibly even avoid the play-in tournament entirely.
There has been a lot of movement in the Western Conference over the last few weeks, with the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Timberwolves, and others all jostling around and getting better before the playoffs.
The Timberwolves are now seen as a real threat, a team figuring itself out at the perfect time.
Over the last few weeks, they have taken down the Phoenix Suns, Miami Heat, Charlotte Hornets, and more.
Some of these teams haven’t been that tough but wins are wins and the T-Wolves have been accumulating a lot of them.
Next up for the Timberwolves will be the Utah Jazz, Indiana Pacers, and New Orleans Pelicans (twice).
Can they extend their winning streak even more?
