The Timberwolves head to Miami and win a street fight against a Heat team ready to compete on both ends of the floor. Point scoring was shared equally among the starters (And NAW and DiVincenzo), but it is Mike Conley who stands out as the big ticket award winner for setting the offensive tone.
The Wolves take care of their business with back-to-back wins against middling to bad teams. With just 18 games left to go, they find themselves in a virtual tie for the 6th seed and just three games out of the 5th seed.
Following a two game slide, the Wolves bounce back with a comfortable victory over the reeling Phoenix Suns.
DiVincenzo set the tone, Randle played some great team basketball, and Anthony Edwards was a superstar. With 20 games left, the Wolves are basically tied for the 6th seed with an opportunity to make some noise with an easier schedule.
The Minnesota Timberwolves 25-point comeback against the Thunder ties their largest in team history. Most shocking about it? It was led by the bench, Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels. This team continues to make no sense whatsoever, but after tonight, we've decided to just give in and let go of the wheel.
In the new best game of the season (a lot of those lately!) the Minnesota Timberwolves soundly defeat the best team in the league on their home floor. While the night was led by Naz, Ant and Jaden, the most encouraging aspect of the game is how the rest of the young pups each contributed to winning.
The Wolves played their last game of a 5-game homestand short-handed against the red hot blazers, and find a way to pull off a heck of a victory. Jaden and Naz were awesome all game and every single other member of the team that saw that floor had big moments to drive the team towards the win.
The Wolves drop back-to-back games at home in a must-win stretch of the season. Injuries and sickness are big reasons why, but every team in the NBA goes through it.
With the trade deadline looming Thursday, Pat takes some time to look at the Wolves roster and create five tiers of players, ranging from untouchable, to "please take him I beg you".
A blowout against a bad team that turned out just to be... incredibly fun. The young guys on the bench all had their moments in the game led by Dillingham, Clark, and Luka Garza. Wolves easily best the hapless Jazz on their way to a five game win streak and 27-21 record.
Phrasing? Well, what a fun win for the Wolves! They go into Phoenix short-handed and get contributions from up and down the roster - led by a monster effort from Anthony Edwards.
NAW, Randle, McDaniels and Jaylen Clark(!!) each with fantastic games.
