Saturday's postponement of the scheduled game between these two makes this now seem an MLB-like consecutive days back-to-back at Target Center. Minnesota had been slumping before Sunday's heavy loss which reminded some of how the Bucks became so distracted back in the 2020 bubble after events that Covid summer. The unrest in Minneapolis might have served as a real distraction for the T-wolves, who played like their minds were elsewhere (which they understandably might have been) on Sunday. The second game of a back-to-back scenario, like the playoff zig-zag, however, often favors the team that lost the first game, and the Warriors are unlikely to reprise their Sunday effort without Jimmy Butler and almost assuredly minus Jonathan Kuminga on Monday.
