April 7, at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California.
At this time, there were still 4 minutes and 13 seconds left before the Timberwolves' away game against the Kings was about to end, and at this time, Kings coach George Karl requested a substitution.
Then he replaced the main player on the field with a substitute player.
On the Timberwolves bench on the other side of the field, after seeing the situation on the opposite side, Chen Dazhuang stood up and high-fived Smith and others around him to celebrate, and then arranged for substitute players to replace all the main players.
At this time, the score between the two sides was 91 to 73, a full 18-point gap. George Karl knew that the game was hopeless, so he also used substitutions to announce his surrender.
Victory is already in the hands of the Timberwolves.
Finally, after the last few minutes of garbage time in the attack, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
The score between the two sides was finally fixed at 107-92, and the Timberwolves won this game.

Among the teams in the Western Conference, the second-ranked Warriors have also completed 77 games and are currently ranked second with 59 wins and 18 losses. The winning gap between them and the Timberwolves is exactly six games.
Therefore, because of this, the Timberwolves also won the first place in the Western Conference this season 5 rounds in advance.

"Chen, how do you feel about being able to win first place in the Western Conference, and what are the Timberwolves' goals for the next playoffs?"
At the post-game press conference, after reporters saw Da Zhuang on the scene, they directly asked about the Timberwolves' next goal.
"I am naturally very happy, because I think it is also an honor to be able to get it in advance. This is the best reward for all my players. As for winning the first place in the Western Conference, I think it will be good for us in the next playoffs.
The preparation for the game will be very beneficial and will give us more and more sufficient preparation time. As for the season goal, I hope we can successfully defend the title. This has never happened in the history of the Timberwolves. I hope we can achieve this goal.
Of course, I also know that it is very difficult to achieve this goal, but I believe in my players."
Facing reporters' inquiries, Da Zhuang also officially issued his declaration of winning this season.
"The Timberwolves secured first place in the Western Conference five rounds ahead of schedule and are aiming for the championship!"
"The Timberwolves led by Hua Guochen once again set a record in team history!"
"The Timberwolves issued their own championship declaration!"

After the game against the Kings, the Timberwolves began to rotate the lineup to a greater extent in the remaining games. In addition, the team's doctor also began to strictly monitor the physical condition of the players on the team.

In the next five games, the Timberwolves only achieved a record of 2 wins and 3 losses due to a large rotation of the lineup. On April 15, the last round of the NBA 2014-2015 regular season, a total of 15 games were all played in the same venue.
