    KAT fouling out might have won us that game lmao

  2. Everything went wrong, and the Wolves still won. I’m afraid these aren’t your fathers timberwolves

  3. mnsportsfan

    Only L’s for Denver and Boston

    Gunna hang so many fucking banners this year

  4. darulez8

    I swear after locking up Tatum in OT Ant had this Jordan-esque look in his eyes. Just became a different animal

  5. bogheron

    Target Center is a fortress. The best offense in the NBA needed overtime and a metric ton of sketchy calls to score 109 on us. Ant proved tonight he can drag the whole team to victory even when he’s in foul trouble all night. Three signature wins against four of the last teams standing last year. Holy shit that was exhilarating.

  6. Holy fuck what a game, Edwards really went crazy.

  7. IronicallyLastNamed

    Best team in the NBA – it is written.

  8. Maximumlnsanity

    I DONT CARE IF HE’S 5 NOW, HES STILL A1 FROM DAY ONE

  9. MatticInYoAttic

    Ant doing that while guarding Tatum and Brown is crazy.. they both aren’t guarding him for a reason.

  10. cokefriend

    AWOOOOOOOOOOO ANTHONY EDWARDS BABY A5 SINCE DAY 5

  11. clars701

    Gobert with the +24. Monster season from him so far. Love this team

  12. Gyroflex

    That was insane, great defending against probably the best team in the league. Ant takeover, rudy fantastic on D (i’ll forget about the FT’s), just a great win

  13. Holy fuck that was about the loudest I’ve ever heard an arena. Target Center was rocking.

    Ant is amazing.

  14. Karl_MN

    Holy fuck I never want to hear Boston’s cast ever again fucking hell

  15. quietsam

    I have to admit, I thought it was over when Kat tried to rip his own shorts from his body.

  16. SacredKhaoz

    Rudy is clear DPOY
    Jmac is him
    Ant is MVP
    Naz Reid.

    KAT was definitely there.

  17. Count_Slothington

    Over/under on how many “this was Minnesota’s finals” we’ll get from Celtics fans?

  18. The_Koze

    Okay, who wants to talk about how the Celtics flopped all fucking night?

  19. gg32329988

    Rudy gobert +24.

    I’ve been watching that all season and I’ve been critical of Rudy hurting the offense, but the defense today was some of the best I’ve ever seen. He’s the reason we won that game outside of Ant and Jaden, Boston couldn’t get anything at the rim.

  20. JigglyBush

    Best offense in the NBA just got held to 109 in an OT game.

  21. Calinks

    Amazing win! Only downside is a lot of the talk will be about how bad KAT was. Don’t let that take the lead, this game was about the Timberwolves breaking through to become a good team. This is a SIGNATURE win. This is what you need to do to get to where we want to be. Took out undefeated Denver, took out undefeated Boston. Incredible.

    ARRRRRRROOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

  22. SpadeyWadey

    WHAT. A. GAME.

    This was only a stepping stone in the legend of Anthony Edwards, he was a marvel to watch in OT to say the least. Gave me chills.

    JMac struggled early but really came up big when we needed him, some great 1 on 1 defense on Brown and Tatum.

    Naz Reid

    Rudy missed 9 free throws but did everything else on the floor almost flawlessly, his defense has been nothing short of outstanding to begin the season.

    And I hate to bring him up after how outstanding this game was but KAT needs to get it together man, had a good offensive stretch against the size mismatch in Holiday but his lack of body control and emotion took him out of the game entirely, he was near invisible in the 4th quarter and was hurting his team down the stretch.

    WHAT A GAME THOUGH THIS DEFENSE IS NO JOKE

    WOLVES BAAAACKKK

  23. TommyOfTheShelbys

    Shout out Mike Conley, Naz & Jaden who as Grady said, got the last laugh. KAT will bounce back, everyone has a bad game every so often. Support him in the good and the bad.

    Good vibes only, let’s enjoy this win and use it to keep pushing forward. 🐺

  24. JackieDaytonaAZ

    celts sub says we won another championship. that’s 3 already!

  25. Accomplished-Carry24

    KAT was horrible, <50% FT’s and 23 Turnover’s and they still won. This team might be a little spooky,

  26. twinberwolf

    This is the most impressive win I’ve seen the wolves pull off in 8 years

  27. CantaloupeCamper

    KAT struggled and Rudy played really well but couldn’t hit free throws… still we took down Boston.

    That’s encouraging.

  28. Jamesd420

    Anthony Edwards is on my favorite basketball team. I’m so blessed.

  29. Relative_Example8208

    Jazz fan stopping by. Glad you guys get to witness another DPY season from Gobert. +24 in a 5 point win. Great game.

  30. Slim-Ticket

    CLIP REQUEST(S)

    Rudy 1 v 1 defense on KP ending in a block

    Mike Conley excellent defense/team defense to force a shot clock viuolation in the 4th

    Ant consecutive daggers in OT

    &#x200B;

    Does anyone have these clips and could you post to r/nba?
