Just poorly managed game so far. No time for details with DEN and SAS so close

Insane that the execution Kings couldn't inbound the ball. Wemby was amazing on Joker at the end, gave him fits! Fun win.

Wolves don't screw this up!!!!

Anthony Edwards, sticky fingers. Hate that three-point attempt, he needs to drive there. Massive size advantage.

Why are Young and Murray not in the game?

Honestly kind of BS that they can't call that blatant foul on the replay, but you know what? We will take it!

Atlanta is locked in as the tenth seed, so they are resting their stars and developing their bench.

I just don't understand why they need an isolation every possession down-the-stretch. Minnesota was breaking down Atlanta's defense with ball-movement, that doesn't change when the clock goes under two minutes!

So its crazy that the Spurs beat the Nuggets but the bad news is, if we wind up in a 3 way tie, OKC will get the 1 seed. We get the 2 but we have to face Denver in the second round if we both make it out the first. OKC wouldn't have to face either us until the WCF. That would be a big blow.

Thank you Quin Snyder for giving Wolves are chance. Way to go in rewarding your ex-players

Wolves would get home court though, which i think they have to have against denver

Quinn Snyder gets the MVP tonight. He fought desperately to get us this win and we barely pulled it off.

Big KAT is an S-Tier teammate confirmed.

Terrible game from ANT all night long. Almost cost us the win. Lucky Rudy, Naz and Mike save us.
KAT was not bad for a return. Don't know what to say for Slomo.... Anyway good win. Another one and we will got home court advantage which is really important at PO time.

ESPN has something against the Wolves. :D They put Wolves in 2nd place behind OKC again. Going to take them two days to fix it.

I thought we had the tie breaker vs okc. Tough game for them vs dal, and obviously tough game for us.. but we need to win against phx. Go into the playoffs with some confidence.
