I don't like us letting them back in the game. Ant can't shoot straight today.

Bad lull in the middle of the quarter but ended pretty strong.

Ok Shake. Lets earn those minutes.

Conley from 3 has been deadly and while Ant isn't scoring, he's doing everything else.

This is the part that I don't like how Finch coaches. NOP calls a timeout, make adjustments and start to get back into the game. I would like Finch to break the momentum or make adjustments when the lead is slipping away.

Ant to Gobert lob - money!!!

Wolves have owned this 2nd quarter and it should be game over.

Taking the Pels to the woodshed like we should be doing.

Ant with 8 assists in the first half. This bodes very well for our season and future.

KAT, Naz, Ant, Jaden, and SloMo - killer lineup. Roll with that. Great length. Versatility. Everyone can handle it and shoot. Love it.

The leap that we want to see from Ant. It is here!!!

The best I seen Ant played. The game has slow down for him. Great passing decisions. I even see him pass out to a open Gobert on the perimeter then swing it to an open man in the corner. The jab steps going to the basket, the mid range shots, the complete package! I only remember a single bad one on three drive from him in the 1st half. Now I am worry about the salary cap because if he keeps it up, that is ALL NBA 1st or 2nd team material. He is going to get the superMax

Mike Conley is "the man" baby! Just having Mike in there and not Dlo makes me jump for joy. He's a trillion times better fit.

How about that Ant to Rudy slam??!!

We're using Rudy in a much more effective way now by asking him to do less offense and concentrate on defense. Thank god.

Is this any fun or what??!!

How will we handle the dreaded 3rd qtr? Old Wolves or new Wolves?

A good recovery from Towns after the BOS game. 4 for 5 three in the first half. It's about time.

You just knew he would come out and have a good game after that. He has a lot of pride.

I also knew he was going get an offensive foul on that drive before he got to the free throw line

I am like - don't do it Towns, don't do it. Just shoot the baby hook :nonono:

Wow! SloMo and Ant blocks, Steal, Naz Spin, pass up court, lob off the backboard for an Ant slam!

Love love love this year’s team!

This is honestly the most encouraging game of the season. Minnesota could have deflated after the Denver and Boston wins, but they are being as dominant as they should be, tonight.

Is it the crowd, the energy or the swagger of the team? You can just feel any little mistake by NOP, Wolves are going on a run and knock them out. NOP was ready to get into the fetal position. It's the feeling that great teams have - Lakers/Celtics/Bulls/Warriors.
