    Big time game from Rudy tonight. He was dominant in all aspects of the game.

    All-Star Ant continues to make his case.

    Back to .500!

    3rd quarter Wolves apology form:

    **Reason for behavior**

    * I didn’t know your game ✅
    * The media convinced me you were bad ✅
    * I only looked at advanced analytics ✅
    * I watched all Wolves games this season ✅
    * Mercury was in Retrograde ✅

  4. quietsam

    Jmac clutch when everybody else was clenched

  5. srry_didnt_hear_you

    Back to .500 off a tough fight! Hell yeah Wolves

  7. Wolvesin7

    Jaden McDaniels quiet on offense all night then saves the day. Also really happy with the play of Rudy in that second half holding things down.

  8. PlayInChampions

    Ingram in his first game after injury: 4/18 from the floor, 4 turnovers.

    It ain’t sweet, indeed!

  9. bearbrannan

    If you don’t like that, you don’t like Timberwolves basketball. That being said, that 4th quarter had me on edge.

  12. Able-Bodied-Virgin

    I am a HUGE fan of D’Lo in a Jordan Clarkson role

  13. Denched_

    ANT is an all star man what a sight to see

  14. DrunkMarkJackson

    Credit to Finch. He made some great adjustments at half time and was very smart in when he used his TOs

  15. FlyingScissor

    Big game by Rudy and got a road dub. Wolves will be OK.

  16. BT_phoenix

    Uh oh, .500 again. 12th time will be the charm to break above it. Surely.

  17. Illustrious_Self_713

    You choose your first game back to be against Jaden McDaniels? I guess he likes a challenge.

  20. Minute-Decent

    It ain’t sweet imma right

    Coming back against the Wolves ain’t sweet

  21. BeyondTimberdome

    Rudy 3 assists

    *Twists invisible moustache*

    u/wolvesplug your dream lives

  22. ChbbyKttns

    The iso ball almost killed the game but I’m glad they figure it out in the last few possessions. That has killed us in the past

  23. VikingsandWolves

    Rudy’s best game as a Wolf. Defensively, he was a monster and offensively his screens were really good and got ANT alot of open looks. Gives me hope that he can eventually be a positive on both ends of the floor or at least neutral on offense like he was with the Jazz.

  24. thiswasmy19thchoice

    Finch worked a perfect DLo/Ant rotation stagger

  25. gradual_alzheimers

    Edwards last three games are just pure stardom. He’s really turning into an offensive power house scoring from every which way and his play making is coming alive.

  26. BradForS34

    The first game against solid opponent where things actually seemed to mesh.

    Kyle was passing well to Gobert.

    Gobert was getting good screens for both Ant and DLo.

    Jaden doing his elite role-player thing.

    Obviously, Rudy’s defensive presence was valuable, as opponents find themselves double-guessing whether going to the paint is a good option.

    ​

    The only real problem to me is scoring off the bench, plenty of opportunities are being created when Finch staggers DLo with the bench unit, but they fail to capitalize on it. We need to trade Naz and Nowell for the best bench player we could possibly find. Getting Mann or Bones would make it a very sexy line-up for our bench.

  27. Exius73

    I really want Gobert-Anderson Oop fest. Gobert-Jingles connection vibes

  28. dkleckner88

    Ninth times a charm? Friday will be the Wolves ninth attempt to go above .500 since Thanksgiving.
