Spears of Andscape. “She knows how much time I put into it and how much sacrifice I make away from them and how I treat my mind and body after this process. I will call her after this, but it still hurts.”</p><h2><b>Mike Conley weighs heartbreak as Timberwolves fall again in Western Conference Finals</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Mike-Conley-dribbling.jpg"><figcaption>Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Timberwolves were <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/minnesota-timberwolves/timberwolves-rumors-kevin-durant-trade-priority-another-wcf-loss">eliminated in the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year</a>. Conley, 37, played 22 minutes in the decisive Game 5, recording two steals, one assist and a block. It was a difficult night for the veteran, who reflected on the moment as he walked off the floor at Paycom Center.</p><p>“When I was walking off the floor I was thinking, ‘Not again.’ It was a nightmare, man,” Conley said. “Hearing the music and the fans, it was kind of a moment where you hope it ain’t your last chance. You look at every last detail of everything going through your mind. You don’t want to forget it. And you don’t want it to be your last memory of it.”</p><p>Conley just completed his 17th NBA season and his second full campaign with the Timberwolves. The former All-Star has now made three trips to the Western Conference Finals, previously reaching the stage in 2013 with the Memphis Grizzlies against the San Antonio Spurs.</p><p>During the 2024-25 regular season, Conley averaged 8.2 points, 4.5 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game across 71 appearances. He shot 40% from the field and 41% from beyond the arc while playing 24.7 minutes per contest. In the 2025 playoffs, his production declined, averaging 6.0 points, 3.3 assists, and 2.9 rebounds while shooting 30.2% from the field and 33.3% from three in 15 games.</p><p>The Timberwolves entered the postseason with championship aspirations but were ultimately overmatched by a young and surging Thunder team led by newly crowned MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. With uncertainty looming over Conley’s future, Minnesota faces a pivotal offseason as the franchise looks to build on back-to-back conference finals appearances.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I came up short for Mike. I gotta say we tried last year and we tried again this year, and we’ll try again next year.”</p><p>Mike Conley looked visibly sad as Edwards spoke to the press. The Timberwolves felt devastated, marking their second straight Western Conference Finals exit after last year’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks.</p><p>The Thunder stormed ahead with a huge early lead and never let up. Their overwhelming offense and relentless defense gave the Wolves no chance. Minnesota showed brief signs of life in the third quarter, but the deficit was simply too large to erase.</p><p>In Game 5, the Thunder outplayed the Timberwolves across the board. Most of Minnesota’s roster <a href="https://www.espn.ph/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401773152" rel="noopener">posted a negative plus-minus</a>. Edwards, in 39 minutes, scored just 19 points on 7-of-18 shooting. Julius Randle added 24 points on 8-of-14 shooting, while Rudy Gobert managed only two points, and Conley failed to score. Bench players Naz Reid and Terrence Shannon Jr. provided some spark, but they couldn’t lift the team past Oklahoma City.</p><p>Frustrated fans took to social media to vent about the team’s poor start and shaky performance. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/minnesota-timberwolves/timberwolves-news-fans-roast-julius-randle-pathetic-half-vs-thunder">Many roasted Randle online</a> for his halftime struggles.

Jalen Williams and Luguentz Dort chipped in 19 and 12 points, helping secure the Thunder’s dominant, series-clinching win.</p><p>As Minnesota heads into the offseason, tough questions surround the team’s roster, chemistry, and playoff resilience. The Thunder, meanwhile, push forward with momentum, proving they are a rising powerhouse in the West. For the Timberwolves, the heartbreak cuts deep, but as Anthony Edwards promised, they plan to return and try again next year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Over the course of his 18-year career, Conley has played with some great players. Edwards is on a list that includes Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph, and Donovan Mitchell. However, the veteran is <a href="https://x.com/mconley11/status/1923170310246858813" rel="noopener">living in the moment</a> with this year’s team.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="qme">🫡 <a href="https://t.co/X0PILV4qu7">pic.twitter.com/X0PILV4qu7</a></p><p>— Mike Conley (@mconley11) <a href="https://twitter.com/mconley11/status/1923170310246858813?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 16, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Conley is one of the best players currently in the league without a title.

Looking ahead, the Timberwolves will play the winner of the Oklahoma City Thunder-Denver Nuggets series. If the top-seeded Thunder advance, Minnesota has an opportunity to add another star to the list of great players they’ve sent home over the last two seasons.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/minnesota-timberwolves/timberwolves-stars-credit-true-hero-behind-game-2-bounce-back-vs-warriors">Conley’s influence is apparent in the team’s style</a> and how they have come together this season.

Conley was ruled out for the Timberwolves’ 138-113 win against the Utah Jazz.</p><p>Amid a five-game winning streak, the Timberwolves will look to extend it to six with a win against the Wizards. After a lackluster start, Minnesota has found its stride by going 7-3 in its last ten games. The Timberwolves have improved to 27-21 and are trailing the LA Clippers by one game for sixth place in the Western Conference. </p><p>Spearheaded by Timberwolves All-Star Anthony Edwards, who finished with 36 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists in Thursday’s win against the Jazz, the Timberwolves have turned their season around. However, in a competitive Western Conference, keeping themselves afloat will be a challenge between now and the end of the regular season. </p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-mike-conley-reveals-injury-slow-start">Conley has been plagued by nagging injuries</a> all season long. Perhaps it’s led to lackluster performances in his last few games; supplying four and six points in wins against the Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns after scoring a season-high 18 points in a 115-114 win against the Dallas Mavericks on January 22. Conley is averaging 8.8 points, 4.4 assists, and 1.2 steals in his 18th NBA season.</p><p>The Timberwolves defeated the Wizards in a 120-106 blowout in their last meeting. Edwards’ 51 points led five players in double figures, including Julius Randle (20 points), while Conley added seven points, five rebounds, four assists, and one steal. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-anthony-edwards-breaks-internet-bonkers-scoring-night-pistons">Edwards nearly topped his 53-point career-high</a>.</p><p>However, when it comes to the question of if Mike Conley is playing tonight vs. the Wizards, the answer is maybe.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Nuggets are in fourth in the Western Conference, so Minnesota would have to get hot to track them down, but a win would be a bit of a statement for the Timberwolves, especially coming off of this win against the Mavericks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In the NBA, the officiating can sometimes push a player past their breaking point. But there are some who can remain calm even in the face of frustrations, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jazz-news-mike-conley-proud-of-no-technical-record-but-thinks-he-doesnt-get-calls-because-hes-too-nice">with veteran guards Mike Conley</a> and Malcolm Brogdon of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Washington Wizards, respectively, being cool and collected even when things aren’t going their way.</p><p>As pointed out in the broadcast of the Timberwolves’ clash against the Wizards on Monday night, Conley and Brogdon are the only active NBA players at the moment to never receive a technical foul. For Conley, who’s been in the league since 2007, this is nothing short of remarkable, considering that he’s logged nearly 36,000 minutes on an NBA hardwood. Meanwhile, Brogdon, who entered the association in 2016, <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1878967238482612410" rel="noopener">has been at his best behavior</a> for around 13,000 minutes played.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Mike Conley and Malcolm Brogdon are the only active NBA players to have 0 technical fouls in their careers (minimum 13,000 minutes played) 🤯 <a href="https://t.co/lDlMDfSwFm">pic.twitter.com/lDlMDfSwFm</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1878967238482612410?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 14, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>Conley has always been even-keeled on the hardwood, and he’s been a valued member of locker rooms ever since he entered the league nearly 18 years ago thanks to his leadership and calm demeanor. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-mike-conley-record-straight-late-game-dennis-schroder-altercation">The Timberwolves veteran always seems to have good control</a> over his emotions, and he’s been awarded for being one of the most consummate professionals in the league — winning the NBA Sportsmanship Award as the Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year multiple times in his career.</p><p>Meanwhile, Brogdon has also long been lauded for his leadership and presidential demeanor; the Wizards guard has always taken leadership positions wherever he goes, so it’s not a surprise to see him be at his best behavior on the court. He’s also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-news-nbpa-vp-malcolm-brogdon-speaks-out-on-two-options-for-season-start-date">a vice president for the NBPA</a>, so it’s best for him to set an example for his contemporaries.</p><h2><b>Mike Conley, Timberwolves get an easy win over the Wizards on Monday night</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Timberwolves-point-guard-Mike-Conley.jpg"><figcaption>Neville E. Guard-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Wizards have the worst record in the association, so it would have been a major surprise had the Timberwolves lost to them on Monday. But Anthony Edwards did not allow any chances of an upset to materialize. He scored a game-high 41 points to lead Minnesota to a 120-106 victory to move to 21-18 on the season.</p><p>Mike Conley has been settling into his life as the first guard off the bench for the Timberwolves, while Malcolm Brogdon continues to deal with nagging injuries as the Wizards prepare to trade him away with there being less than a month to go before the deadline.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

For this advanced modern-day vehicle, the Minnesota Timberwolves player paid around $89,990. While it’s the cheapest car under his name, any car enthusiast will agree that the Tesla Model S isn’t a slouch by any means. In fact, its advanced features and futuristic design will sweep anyone off of their feet.</p><p>The Tesla Model S features a modern look combined with some advanced technology to match. Apart from a sharp exterior, any owner will be welcomed by its lavish interior filled with technological amenities. Furthermore, it should help Conley reduce his carbon footprint thanks to its environmentally friendly source of power.</p><p>The Tesla Model S is powered by a dual-electric motor. This allows it to produce 1,020 horsepower. Furthermore, it is equipped with a one-speed direct-drive transmission, and the Tesla Model S can attain a maximum speed of 200 mph. In terms of acceleration, this futuristic electric car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just a hair below two seconds.</p><h2><b>2.

This is one of the most coveted luxury SUVs in the market today. In fact, this has been a staple ride for Conley’s daily routine, as he is often spotted publicly taking it out for a spin.</p><p>The Range Rover is also a staple among Hollywood A-listers, given its sleek exterior finish combined with a spacious and lavish interior that assures comfort, making it a practical vehicle for either city driving or road trips. With a handful of amenities, advanced technology, and a roomy interior, Conley should have no problems feeling like royalty.</p><p>Aside from being designed with comfort in mind, the Range Rover also has the ability to thrive in some of the most unforgiving terrains, as it also possesses some off-roading capabilities. This makes it the perfect luxury SUV whenever Conley decides to go on long adventurous trips with his family or friends.</p><p>The Range Rover produces 395 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque thanks to a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine. With an eight-speed automatic transmission, the Range Rover can go as fast as 155 mph. In addition to this, the Range Rover can move from a standstill position to 60 mph in just a little more than six seconds.</p><h2><b>1.

In fact, the flashiest car in Conley’s collection is the Maserati Quattroporte. Retailing in the market for as much as $127,250, the Quattroporte is also the most expensive car under Conley’s name. Staying true to the brand, the Quattroporte is elite at least when it comes to performance and craftsmanship.</p><p>Although the Quattroporte isn’t the most practical vehicle, it makes up for it with its unmatched comfort and performance. Furthermore, its design easily makes it an eye-catcher that oozes luxury and class. Given the features of this lavish sedan, it isn’t surprising as to why the onetime NBA All-Star just had to acquire one.</p><p>The Quattroporte derives its power from a 4.7-liter V8 engine. This allows it to produce 425 horsepower and 361 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to a six-speed shiftable automatic transmission, the Quattroporte can attain a maximum speed of 203 mph, making it the fastest car in Conley’s garage.

However, this is far from the kind of production the Wolves expected to receive from one of the highly coveted role players at the guard position league-wide.</p><p>Randle has also only averaged 18.8 points and 7.2 rebound in the same time frame, shooting a mediocre 49.3% from the field and a poor 27.8% from three, clogging up the lane for Ant-Man and Rudy Gobert.</p><p>Obviously, the Wolves will <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/julius-randle-stats-in-his-last-5-games" rel="noopener">need more production</a> from Randle to make up for the loss of offensive firepower in trading away Towns.</p><p>On the other hand, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-anthony-edwards-rudy-gobert-julius-randle-mishap">Randle should improve his chemistry with Edwards and Gobert</a>, starting from limiting his pouting on the court, especially when he doesn’t touch the ball.</p><p>The Timberwolves are Edwards’ team, made obvious when the front office sent their longest-tenured player away, and Randle should learn to play KAT’s role as a floor-spacer and rebounder to make life easy for their primary option.</p><p>Still, routing two playoff teams–though the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-james-worthy-lakers-blast-41-point-embarrassment-vs-heat">Lakers are currently playing like bottom-feeders</a>–in back-to-back games bodes well for Minnesota, and fans should look for them to build on these wins to climb further up in the standings.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

A lottery pick, Dillingham was originally selected by the San Antonio Spurs but had has draft rights traded to Minnesota. Adding a lottery pick to a Western Conference Finals team is a no-brainer, but Dillingham hasn’t been able to crack the rotation so far.

I’m just trying to keep him sane,” Conley said. “I know he wants to play right away. We know what he’s capable of doing and all the things he can help us with when he gets an opportunity. So I’m just trying to stay in his ear and preach to him, how important he is for our team and going forward.</p><p>“Things that he can pick up from moments he’s not playing, learning our plays, learning out schemes, learning other team’s schemes. . .I promise you he’ll be ready when his time comes.”</p><p>Rob Dillingham was the No. 8 overall pick by the Spurs but was immediately traded to the Timberwolves. He was considered one of the top guard prospects in the 2024 NBA Draft. Even if he currently in the Timberwolves rotation, Mike Conley is a good mentor to learn from.</p><h2><b>Rob Dillingham’s path to the Timberwolves</b></h2><p>Dillingham declared for the NBA Draft after only one season at Kentucky. He came off the bench for the Wildcats, but many believed he was NBA ready.</p><p>During his lone season at Kentucky, he appeared in 32 games at a little over 23 minutes per game. He averaged 15.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.0 steals with splits of 47.5 percent shooting from the field,  44.4 percent shooting from the three-point line and 79.6 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><p>Dillingham has yet to appear in a game for the Wolves this season. It shouldn’t be too surprising though. The Wolves are a veteran team looking to contend in the Western Conference this season. He had a decent preseason though.</p><p>Through five preseason games, Dillingham averaged 9.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists while shooting 33.3 percent from the field, 35 percent from the three-point line and 100 percent from the free-throw line.</p><p>Dillingham began his high school career at Combine Academy, and was supposed to end up at Kanye West’s Donda Academy but the school closed up and the team was never able to play. He finished his high school career at Overtime Elite.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He now writes about sports instead as a form of therapy.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Minnesota Lynx, much like the Minnesota Timberwolves, are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lynx-news-napheesa-collier-candace-parker-territory-epic-wnba-feat-vs-sun">excelling in their respective leagues</a>. As a <a href="https://x.com/mconley11/status/1843838520408060111" rel="noopener">show of solidarity</a>, Timberwolves guard Mike Conley congratulated the Lynx for advancing to the WNBA Finals after defeating the Connecticut Sun, 88-77, in Game 5 of the semifinals, with a two-emoji tweet.</p><p>“💪🏾💪🏾,” Conley wrote on his official account on X, formerly known as Twitter.</p><p>Professional basketball in the city of Minneapolis is thriving; the Lynx may not have reached lofty championship heights ever since the departure of the legendary Maya Moore, but now, they are one step closer to being back on the mountaintop of the WNBA. Napheesa Collier continues to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lynx-news-napheesa-collier-must-fix-game-5-sun">be on a roll</a>, dropping 27 points and 11 rebounds in the victory.</p><p>Advancing to the WNBA Finals is a vindication of all the Lynx’s hard work throughout the 2024 season. They went 30-10 in the regular season, and they came out on top against a very deep Sun team that has much more deep playoff experience than they do.</p><p>Indeed, the Lynx flexed their muscle against the Sun, much like in the veteran Timberwolves guard’s tweet. They dealt a bunch of damage from the paint (Minnesota scored 40 points in the paint compared to 29 from Connecticut), and they also forced 19 turnovers which they then converted for a total of 22 points.</p><p>The Lynx were <a href="https://stats.wnba.com/teams/defense/?sort=DEF_RATING&amp;dir=-1" rel="noopener">ranked second</a> in the association this past season in defensive rating, but they came through when it mattered the most. After all, they have the services of the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. Collier has set the tone for the Lynx all season long, and now, they are only three wins away from winning another championship — the fifth in franchise history if they manage to overcome the New York Liberty.</p><p>As for Conley and the Timberwolves, they too are looking for a breakthrough. Last year was a step in the right direction as they made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals, but now, they are looking to get over the hump and perhaps win it all.</p><h2>Can Mike Conley and the Timberwolves follow the Lynx’s lead?</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Mike-Conley-during-Game-6.jpg"></figure><p>The Timberwolves and Lynx have built their championship-contending identity on the defensive end of the floor. The Lynx have not made it past the semifinals of the WNBA playoffs since 2017, but now, here they are, closer than they’ve been in recent seasons to the ultimate goal.</p><p>At the very least, the Lynx’s progression into a true title contender bodes well for the Timberwolves’ chances of improving upon last year’s finish. However, there will be plenty of hurdles for the Timberwolves to clear for them to even match their Conference Finals appearance last season.</p><p>The Western Conference is as deep as ever, and perhaps their two best competitors to come out of the conference gauntlet reside in the same division (Oklahoma City Thunder, Denver Nuggets). Moreover, the Timberwolves made a seismic change to their roster prior to the start of training camp, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/timberwolves-news-karl-anthony-towns-pens-emotional-farewell-minnesota">dealing away Karl-Anthony Towns</a> for a package headlined by Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo.</p><p>If anything, the Timberwolves will need Anthony Edwards to take another leap, and Naz Reid will figure largely into the team’s plans in filling the frontcourt production void left by the Towns trade. They have a deep and complete roster that can win it all, but they have to be locked in the same way the Lynx have been all season long as they head into the WNBA Finals.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both sides, her impact defensively each night there are different ways you can use her. She’s defensive player of the year and MVP, that’s why we are sitting where we are.”</p><p>The four-time WNBA All-Star and the Lynx are seeking their first trip to the WNBA Finals since 2017.

Our aggressiveness, our willingness to sell out on anything (because) we have each other’s backs. This is the most talented, most fun team I’ve been on since I’ve been here. We want to build on this, we don’t want to peak here. We want to achieve bigger things than this at the end of the season.”</p><p>The WNBA playoffs begin Sunday with four games played back-to-back.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
