While Mitch and Pat do the normal recap of the Wolves loss vs the Pistons, the overarching theme of the episode is simple: It's time to start resting up for the playoffs.

Ayo Dosunmo continues to be a revelation for the Timberwolves, highlighted tonight by his 2nd career triple double.

Basketball talk time! With defense and physicality, the Wolves match and exceed the Rockets, led by scoring bursts from Jaden McDaniels in the 4th quarter, and the heroics of Julius Randle in OT.

Scott Foster is an aging official with a conspiracy riddled past that has always allowed his ego, his personal baggage with players, and his disdain for fans to eclipse the basketball product and make it about himself.

The Timberwolves beat the Celtics in Boston for the first time in 21 years, and they do it led by Bones Hyland and Ayo Dosunmo.

The shorthanded Wolves take care of business against the shorthanded Suns in a game that should asuage worries for the moment about falling into the play-in.

We cap off the final (very late) game of this West Coast stretch with a running diary in the victory over the Warriors. The Wolves played... better! Got a little sloppy in the second half, but they still finish the night with a double-digit victory.

Ant soars, Ayo closes, and the losing streak is over!

Well, not the most fun game to attempt a running diary of. But at least it was a 10:15pm start that ended at 12:30am!

The Timberwolves win their 5th game in a row (and 8 of their last 9) by playing some of their best basketball of the season in the 3rd quarter tonight. Highlight after highlight leads the Wolves to a 4-23 record, now alone in 3rd in the West.

Mitch and Pat talk the Memphis game, SloMo's debut, and respond to a first ever listener voice note asking about why the tone of the podcast has been less positive this season.
