The final day of the 2023-24 NBA regular season in the Western Conference saw a lot of teams with plenty to play for, including the No. 1 seed being up for grabs.
Without a doubt, the biggest losers of the day out West were the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were trounced 125-106 by the Phoenix Suns despite having the top seed in the conference to play for. What’s worst for T-Wolves fans is that the team went 0-3 against Phoenix in the regular season and now faces the Suns in round one.
Troubling for those in Minnesota.
In other news, the Los Angeles Lakers handily defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 124-108 and will now face the Pels in the Play-In Tournament with a chance to lock up the No. 7 seed ahead of the playoffs, though back spasms to Anthony Davis do cast a bit of concern in L.A.
Check out what NBA Twitter had to say about it:
The T-Wolves got blown out by the suns in all 3 matchups this season.
They play them in the first round.
They were the 1 seed all season, and lost it in the final week of play
Who has it worse than Timberwolves fans? Wasted the entire season’s hard work just to 1st rounded pic.twitter.com/uyrZqrAMUB

Suns win and make the playoffs.
They will face the Timberwolves in the first round, who they have a 3-0 record against and have pretty much dominated in all those fixtures. Going to be fascinating to get into over the next couple of days.
