Finishing Fifth in the Northwest Division

Roster, Stats, and Standings

The 2012 Minnesota Timberwolves finished the NBA regular season with a disappointing 31-51 record, placing them fifth in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference. Despite a talented roster featuring Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio, and Nikola Pekovic, the team struggled to find consistency throughout the season.

The Timberwolves' offense was led by Love, who averaged 26.0 points and 13.3 rebounds per game. Rubio was an effective distributor, averaging 8.5 assists per game, while Pekovic provided a physical presence in the paint, averaging 16.9 points and 8.9 rebounds per game.

However, the team's defense was a major weakness, allowing opponents to average 100.7 points per game. The Timberwolves also struggled to maintain a consistent rotation, with injuries and poor play leading to several lineup changes throughout the season.

Despite the disappointing finish, the 2012-13 season provided valuable experience for the Timberwolves' young players. With a talented core in place, the team has the potential to improve significantly in the future.
