Timberwolves-Clippers Preview

(AP) -- The Minnesota Timberwolves seem headed to yet another terrible season. That doesn't mean the Los Angeles Clippers can take them lightly.

After barely winning the first matchup, the Clippers look to hand the Timberwolves their 13th straight loss and keep them winless on the road Monday night.

Minnesota has lost 12 straight since winning its season opener 95-93 against New Jersey on Oct. 28. A loss to the Clippers (5-9) would match the Timberwolves' longest skid from last season, set from Nov. 29 to Dec. 23. (MORE)
