Is this real life? Wolves fans can't believe No. 1 luck

Well, Wolves fans: you can finally lay to rest the NBA Draft Lottery conspiracy theories (and yes, when I wrote about them the other day, I got a friendly reminder from the league’s communications office that they take this business very seriously). No league in its right mind would rig a lottery to give the Wolves the top pick, but that is exactly the pick Minnesota earned last night. It does not matter that No. 1 was the slot the Wolves were in based on record. This is a massive victory. No doubt about it. The reaction from Wolves fans was a mixture of excitement and shock. Here are some of the best tweets I saw:

I woke up this morning and checked the internet right away to confirm the #Twolves still won the lottery!! It wasn’t a dream after all. — Eric Hanna (@ehanna14) May 20, 2015

Thank you ping-pong ball gods. Tonight, I go to bed happy. #TWolves

Hold it – why would the NBA conspire to give the #Twolves the 1st pick over the #Lakers? Or did someone mess up? — John Bonnes (@TwinsGeek) May 20, 2015

#Twins win tonight and are 22-17. #Twolves get No. 1 pick. #Vikings are dark horse to make playoffs. If hope was currency, MN would be rich.

Anyone know who I need to contact for mapping out a parade route in Minneapolis? Asking for a friend. #NBADraftLottery #Twolves — Josh Benjamin (@Jbenjamin81) May 20, 2015
