The Bev foul was a simple foul. Period.

Ugly collapse but huge recovery and win. I said we need 2 of 4 and we just got it. Now let’s work some magic and defeat the slumping Warriors.

glad they won but man the defense has been disappointing for a while..conceding 120+ points against a Cavs team missing Garland isn't good either. Still a good start post-ASB to win 2 out of 3 games against Grizzlies, Sixers, Cavs

I think Wolves are now pretty much guaranteed a top8 finish, barring some huge collapse. It's also likely they are going to have to play in the play-in tournament as the Nuggets, Mavs just cannot stop winning.

That was rough in the end but man happy we pulled it out. We need to get some damn easy wins though, tired of all these nail-biters. Would love a few comfortable blowouts.

Given all the sub .500 teams we play you should get your wish soon.

I stayed up to watch this one, and I’m glad I did!

My biggest takeaway was that these are exactly the types of close games we used to lose .. for the last ten years.

Really excited about the future of your team. You’ve got some very impressive pieces.

Yea you guys got a serious squad on your hands, love the power of the frontcourt and you have really great young pieces, Cavs look like a force for the foreseeable future and you are just getting started.

Around here I am the guy known for hating small ball. Your 3 big structure proved my point that it can and does work. I didn’t like what you guys paid for Markkanen, but it really worked out well for you :).
