Dunks After Dusk

Pat and Mitch hope on the mics to recap and celebrate the first playoff series win for the Timberwolves in twenty years. Some awards handed out:

The Big Ticket
Koi Pond
For Frodo
Just You Wait... Just You Wait

And more! Also, a summer episode question about how to get your significant other to become a Timberwolves fan has a heartwarming conclusion that would make Walt Disney himself blush.

For the first time in Minnesota professional sports history, a team has swept a seven game series. Anthony Edwards entered the avatar state, Karl-Anthony Towns played had one of his best performances of his career, and not even "The Extender" himself, Scott Foster, could hold this Timberwolves team back.

A mature, and dominant road performance from the Timberwolves leave them on the precipice of a series sweep. Wolves were dominant with their size, went on another 3rd quarter run, and then Anthony Edwards poured water over the flames of any lingering hope that Suns had that they could get back in it.

3-0. One more victory till they have a second round date with the Denver Nuggets.

Mitch and Pat recap the game 2 victory over the Phoenix Suns - who have surprised both of us by their willingness to throw in the towel in these games.

Jaden has a career night, Conley bounces back, Anthony Edwards high fives a referee... are we having fun yet?!

In game one of their first round series, the Minnesota Timberwolves come out of the gate playing defense like a championship caliber team. Every player was locked into the scheme on that end of the floor, and then Anthony Edwards delivers a haymaker in the 3rd quarter.

The team played so well, we had to go back to our five award outline, so find out who gets:

The Big Ticket Award
The NAW and Order Award
The Straight to Jail Award
The King Kong Award
The 4/20 Award

1-0 series lead - Phoenix is going to give you everything they have on Tuesday because teams that go down 0-2 rarely win a series.

The playoffs are here! With the Timberwolves series against the Suns tipping off on Saturday, Mitch and Pat do a deep dive on some series numbers. What parts of the dominant Suns performance is real? What parts are statistical variance?

Get ready for lots of numbers, an uncomfortable amount of agreeing, and our final series predictions.

Mitch and Pat are back and have some feelings about the Phoenix game and the upcoming playoff matchup - but most of those will be coming later in the week.

This episode is all about a palate cleanser to remember the identity of this team and how their best moments of the season can set them up for success in the playoffs.

Mitch and Pat recap the rollercoaster of emotions that came in Friday night's victory over Atlanta.

KAT returns.

Big lead.

Lead squandered.

ATL benches their starters.

Denver loses.

Minnesota is in first place...

... wait, what's the tiebreaker now?

The Timberwolves drop lose to Denver on the road due to another power outtage in the 4th quarter. 2nd place in the West with their destiny in their own hands.

Mitch and Pat hop on the mics following Ant's career high performance as he joins the 50 club. The Timberwolves beat a hot shooting Wizards team by turning on the effort following a sleepy 1st quarter.

1st place with the biggest game of the season coming tomorrow!
