The previous franchise best was a span of seven consecutive days at the end of the 2003-04 regular season (April 8th to April 14th, 2004), which saw the Timberwolves finishing in first place amid Kevin Garnett’s MVP campaign. Aside from that, our only other multi-day streak prior to this year lasted three days, in January of that same 2003-04 season.

What follows is an exhaustive listing of dates in which the Minnesota Timberwolves held the top seed in the Western Conference:

No. Year Month Day
1 2001 November 8
2 2001 November 10
3 2001 November 17
4 2002 November 1
5 2004 January 25
6 2004 January 26
7 2004 January 27
8 2004 April 8
9 2004 April 9
10 2004 April 10
11 2004 April 11
12 2004 April 12
13 2004 April 13
14 2004 April 14
15 2019 October 27
16 2019 October 29
17 2023 November 19
18 2023 November 20
19 2023 November 21
20 2023 November 22
21 2023 November 23
22 2023 November 24
23 2023 November 25
24 2023 November 26
25 2023 November 27
26 2023 November 28

This streak will continue for at least another three days, given that Saturday is the earliest date at which Denver could regain the top seed, though that’s highly unlikely.

    I know it’s not even December yet…but man just reflect- we’ve been through some shit. Not even pre KG because we were an expansion team that ended up with Laettner instead of shaq or zo…. But 2006-2020 besides one year…
