Giving up the last 5 points of the third quarter puts a damper on things. Could have gone to the 4th with a very big lead. Now we're going to have to hold them off when they go on their inevitable run.

Towns has had a great quarter, really carried Minnesota offensively.

Jordan McLaughlin has played some great ball, over the past few games.

Good things happen when he raises the tempo and plays Little Ninja defense.

We lost our last two games and we had 8 and 9 pages of posts. We're getting close to a nice road win and we are at 3 pages so far.

It's the NBA. I expect the opponent to have an inevitable run. If it doesn't happen I'll be happy I was wrong.

True. We just saw our 10-0 run end and their 5-0 run begin. Great timeout by Finch to try and disrupt it.

Put this game as exhibit A that the rumors of our death demise may have been exaggerated. This is a team that was 14-5 at home coming in to the game tonight. Unless something goes wrong real fast it will be an easy Wolves victory.

OKC almost came back. They were getting destroyed. Will be really nice to get a game up on them.

His reaction time is a little too late, but I like that Anthony Edwards is making an effort to find Rudy Gobert (even if the success is pretty mixed, currently).

23 point lead with 5 minutes remaining. I'm putting it in the win column. Go Wolves. 25-9 taking care of business.

Yep our loss to them by 6 points, might not be the horrific game/embarrassment that we all were thinking.

Team should listen to Rudy...stick to fundamentals...

Rebounding, passing, low turnovers, defense..and it will all fall into place.

Jim Pete just said Miller Time. I imagine a certain beer company is loving the free advertising.
