    [Jon K] Gobert reportedly shouted in the locker room at half time: “fuck that Turkish mother fucker”

  2. irishace88

    What a game from McDaniels, completely locked down Green all night.

    4 in a row, let’s keep this thing rolling! 2023 is our year!

  5. DoYouEvenDoubleLeg

    Wow, started the game asleep like we have a few times earlier in the season.

    Great heart and effort to fight back like we did and win convincingly!

  7. BeyondTimberdome

    Ho hum allowed 34 second half points

  8. BT_phoenix

    I don’t think the wolves will lose in 2023. Hot take, I know.

  12. Jacob_toasted

    Only allowed 34 points in the 2nd half… got dayum

  14. fanofloons

    Gobert should’ve floored him on that last dunk….

  15. gargulec9

    I cant believe minnesota won after losing by 20

  17. PlayInChampions

    20 POINTS COME BACK. How many times have you guys seen it in your life?

  18. KnowledgePrevious

    Came back from 20 down. Gobert dominates again. On route to 4 seed 😎😎😎

  19. cvKDean

    Wolves with a game with a blown 20 point lead, as usual

    Build that streak uppp

  20. Jwymore169

    Sloppy game but good to see them stick it out for the win. Could have easily rolled over when they were down 20. Gobert was shutting the paint down in the 2nd half. Ant had a terrible game and needs to learn how to be a facilitator when his shot isn’t falling, seems like his hip was an issue tonight. So glad Finch benched Nowell after his stupid step back three. DLo with a solid 2nd half as well.

  21. mattmonty95

    Didn’t watch, what were the main storylines here? Who to credit for the comeback?

  22. MikeRotch4756

    So do we like Rudy now I can’t remember where we are on the cycle

  23. dosnetlive

    Rudy and Jaden have ridiculous defensive potential together

  24. ghostoftonyscott

    [https://streamable.com/3vj70v](ROLL THE CLIP!!)

  26. starfruit213

    I was expecting another disappointing loss after that first quarter. But credit to Gobert, Slo-mo, Jaden, and Prince. They were the most important during the run to come back.

  27. MarduRusher

    Lotta takeaways here both good and bad. But to highlight a few positives:

    Gobert has been looking like Utah Gobert the last few games. Seems like the team is gelling better with him (ESPECIALLY Slow Mo) and he’s been better individually as well.

    Dlo has been looking pretty solid again too, especially considering his atrocious start. Tonight he was arguably our MVP.

    Finally, the team played with heart and didn’t give up despite being down by so much. Showed a lot of effort to claw themselves back in it.
