We just need Karl to play like the regular season, and wolves are going far.

Make no mistake gentlemen, this is a huge win. Not only did we beat the Clippers, we beat a Clippers team that is maybe the hottest team in the NBA right now over the last several weeks. We also beat them at home when they had every reason and want to get this won. Winning a road game like this is tough. Not only did we do all that, we dominated them.
This is a demoralizing loss for the Clippers team and a big statement win for our team. Add the Bucks blowout on top of this and we got a chance to build on some serious momentum after the all-star break. The slump may be over and if it is, the league is in trouble.

Might be the most impressive Wolves performance all season especially being on the road against a formidable foe.

I love it when the starters on the bench are cheering on the reserves going crazy at a made basket. Great stuff.
AAAARRRROOOOO!!!
This one feels good to blow out the Clips on their court.

Did KAT even play in the fourth? Damn glad we got some extra rest on the front end of R/R B2B.

It's time again for some quotes from the other team.
I’ll be honest. We basically need to pray some team knocks off the Wolves.
Our FO felt confident about our team this trade deadline because we were cooking, but is blatantly obvious we REALLY struggle against size and length. Minnesota is huge and full of two way players, and we are bothered offensively and struggle defensively.
I’d rather take on Denver than Minnesota based on what we’ve seen. Russ is effectively unplayable against Gobert, and outside of Zu, Mason and Theis are basically useless against them too.
Minnesota’s defense is ******* real y’all. Sure, it’s easier to game plan for teams when you’re matched up with them in the playoffs. But they’re def gonna make us work every single game if we end up against them.
I wish we saw more Zu out there. He’s unfortunately gonna have to play like 30+ against big teams
Timberwolves are regular season juggernauts but nobody cares in the playoffs. Same as all those Jazz teams.
The Wolves are legit. I actually think they're a worst match up for us than Denver.
You can’t beat this wolves team without a stretch 5. Gobert is a 3 time DPOY, can’t let him camp the paint
Teams to avoid in the playoffs:
Minnesota ✅
New Orleans ✅
they simply own us, I'm afraid

You forgot something. We blew them out shooting 32.4% from deep with at least 2 of our 11 makes in garbage time. 9 of 32 is 28.12%. This was one of our worst 3 point shooting games, and we still crushed a small ball 5 out team. Big ball is REAL!!!!

Perfect night . Défense can make you win games! Rudy Dpoy, Ant superstar level apart from 3. Starters rest in the fourth for tomorrow. Really impressive win.

No game will ever prove the following concept more than this one. “Stat lines do not, cannot, and will never truly tell the story of Rudy’s impact on a game. On either side of the ball.”

He played 27 minutes and went for 24 on 8 of 12 field. 7 of 8 from the line.
I don't hear any more KAT trade talk....I wonder why?
Kat trade talk was finger nails on a chalk board to me.
On the season Kat is shooting 51.6 fg% 44.2 3pt% 87.1 ft. Those numbers are amazing. By any standards.
