KAT had 31 at the end of 3 and we were up by 9. He still has 31 with less than 6 minutes to go and we are up by 19.

I’d love nothing more than the warriors to give huge new contracts to Wiggins and Poole..

I said we needed to go 2 of 4 in the 4 games back from the break. Instead we went 3 of 4. To make it sweeter we are 5 games above .500 for the first time since 17-18. Also, we blew out Wiggins while letting Ant rest. Cherry on top, Kaminga sucked :) :) :).

First win on a B2B after eternity. All things considered, it's been a great start post-ASB. Had a relatively tough schedule and to win 3 out of 4 against Grizzlies, Sixers, Cavs, Warriors is great, especially with 2 Back2Back games.

Finch has the 2nd highest win percentage as a head coach for the Wolves.

I have seen decent number of Warriors games and I don't really think there is much difference in Wiggins offensive game at Warriors vs his last couple of season at Wolves. Playing with Steph helps him a lot because teams double team Steph and Wiggins get lot many more wide open 3 pt opportunities but other than that, it's pretty much the same Wiggins offense we have seen at Wolves. He still likes to settle for those long 2 pointers even though he isn't good at it and his ball handling is still not good. He is good at shooting corner 3's though..that was one area where I wanted Wolves to use Wiggins more.

I was just complaining last night about how we can never get easy wins and how I would love to be able to just chill at the end of a game for once. Today they delivered.

Beasley has been so atrocious this season with the shooting that it makes it hard to fathom, but when he is shooting at least decently (say hitting 1/3 of his 3's) he's a huge boost to our offense. Teams have to account for him and the threes he does make can but a lead wide open.

They got obliterated by KAT. Wonder if the Warriors troll will be back, it’s odd they only seem to show up when they win tho.

I never go to other teams threads, I don’t need other people to feel bad to feel good about a win. I just think it is telling how these trolls only ever show up to troll, but never stop by to say good game after they lose.

Looks like for the Warriors the old "How come Wiggins never dunks anymore?" Has evolved into "How come Wiggins never drives anymore?" One theory some posters are throwing around is that he must be scared to get to the line because he is missing too many free throws. I do not miss having those vexing conversations about Wiggins and the head-scratching over why he doesn't;t do this thing or that thing. That frustration was a killer.

Wiggins shooting free throws in the clutch was one of the most nerve racking/embarrassing things I have ever experienced as a Wolves fan.

I didn’t get to see the second half, but when I found out we won, I had the same reaction:

“We won 3 of 4 against THAT schedule?!?”
