    Should be 4-1, and easily could have been 5-0. How we do against Boston on Monday will really set the tone on this team’s legitimacy

  2. irishace88

    Our defense is nasty! Holding 4/5 opponents under 100 is unreal in today’s NBA.

    The big 3 all played great together for the first time this season which was great to see.

    Looks like we can just pencil Naz in for his 16 points on great efficiency every night. Dudes a beast.

    What a game from Anderson too. I love when his shots falling like it was tonight.

  3. raki016

    I’ve always known we’re a great third quarter team.

  4. Maximumlnsanity

    Sad I was busy for the 3rd quarter, but otherwise no complaints. What a good performance

  5. Solid win, we really cleaned things up in the second half and held them to under 100 points again.

  6. pollinium

    has our fanbase ever loved a role player as much as Naz Reid? home games when he’s on the floor are too much fun

  7. horse_renoir13

    Total ownership that 2nd half. Holy shit what a great defensive effort

  8. le_sweden

    We have the best defense in the NBA, period

  9. magworld

    * Ant is good
    * defense is good
    * wolves are good
    * awoooooooooooooo

  10. Gyroflex

    please dont make me believe again. solid af game all around though, just good quality play

  11. dumpyduluth

    Garza dressed like he has a hidden lair inside a face that was carved into a cliff

  12. reedg17

    I love this team. I’m 24 years old and I’ve always followed the wolves but this is the first time I really felt like we have a chance to do something.

  13. yourloudneighbor

    The second half went a hell of a lot closer to what I expected this game to go than the first

    Good win boys. Carry it over to the Vikings tomorrow

  14. trishowsky

    I really enjoy it when Minnesota Timberwolves score a lot more points than the opponents when the final buzzer sounds.

  15. BC56710

    31-8-6 for ant and he didn’t even really takeover, AE5 4 MVP.

  16. YoloCrayolo21

    I’ll probably agree with most of the comments so i’ll come here with a hot take, if NAW keeps playing meh I think Nix will be good enough to give him some of his minutes

  17. Ok so we might win all the championships this year

  18. JigglyBush

    Okay if we’re gonna start stringing together performances like these last two we’re going to be a problem

  19. Underdog_To_Wolf

    This defense looks real. If Jaden can stay out of foul trouble and make even just a slight jump offensively we are going to be contending

  20. raki016

    Kudos to KAT.

    He seems to be doing really well keeping his energy under control and not letting bad stretches affect his mentality.

  21. reedg17

    I really hope the players buy into this narrative of holding teams under 100. They are playing with a lot of effort so far. I think they trust finch.

  22. Sam7sung

    Good to see KAT and Ant have strong offensive games

  23. cokefriend

    kessler is better than gobert right??

  24. Slomo is too good. I’ve never loved a role player more

  25. Apostinggod

    Quality win.

    KAT was great on both sides of the court.

    ANT is officially a walking bucket.

    Naz and Rudy played levels above last year again.

    Great defense. Love it.

  26. Calinks

    Our style is impetuous, our defense is impregnable, and we are just ferocious. Aroooooo!!!!!!

  27. Ineedmonnneeyyyy

    WALKER KESSLER SNIFFS RUDYS JOCK STRAP

  28. FlyingScissor

    Another game where being big kills the opponent. The super big lineup with Rudy-KAT-Naz pushed the lead to end the 1st half. Shoutout to the folks hand wringing the middle of the 3rd quarter in the game thread.
