    Hell nawl, cant do that

    • ⁠Jimmy when asked if he can beat the wolves

  2. car1999pet

    Great win, great maturity for Minnesota, great basketball, Naz Reid

  3. GGezpzMuppy

    What comes after spooky? Because Wolves starting to look more than spooky.

  4. pollinium

    It’s nice to have a gimme in this otherwise tough 16 game stretch

  5. H_E_PENNYPACKER_69

    Very sad to see Soft Jimmy bullied by KAT at the end of the game. Refs cant allow him to be treated that way.

  6. SwishBender

    Watching the Wolves claw back from a big deficit to take a 4th quarter lead and then trade hay makers with a finals team on their home floor and win is an almost out of body experience.

  7. Holy shit that last quarter was insane felt like a playoff game

  8. even if we lost that game was really fucking good

    although winning was fun

  9. EsotericPotato

    The Timberwolves have had 15 and 17 point deficits in their last two road games against the Mavs and the Heat.

    What they’re doing in the third quarter this year is insane. 17 third quarter points allowed tonight.

  10. VoidPineapple

    Shoutout to the heat announcers, probably the best I’ve heard all year. They backed their guys but gave the Wolves tons of credit.

  11. printerpaperwaste

    Dwyane wade tweets about Jaquez’s double digit streak.. and it ends.

  12. wink91wink

    Aaaaand that’s why Jimmy stay ducking this matchup

  13. sayqueensbridge

    FUCK JIMMY BUTLER

    TIMBERWOLVES BRASIL: SEND DA VIDEO

  14. It’s stressful being a good team. I actually feel bad if we almost lose now

  15. Charliebitme1234

    Wolves clutch defense might be their best attribute, heat were making nonstop difficult shots and if they didnt the wolves would have won by 10+

  16. Andy-Is-Hot

    The offense on display from both teams in the last few minutes was insane. Both teams were playing great defense but they were still making damn near everything

  17. Ngl, that last 5 mins was a treat to watch from both sides

  18. That final stretch of the game was so fun to watch! This Wolves team has resiliency!

  19. YouStillTakeDamage

    Yeah our fourth quarter problems are obvious at this point, and it gets even more glaring against the best defense in the league that was ramping it up (especially Gobert)

    Still, it was good to have Tyler and Bam back, I thought both of them played pretty well when accounting for rush and such. I do think it was a bit of a strange call not to give Orlando some runtime, especially against the Wolves’ size which was killing us particularly in those non Bam minutes.

    Ah well, it was a fun game, on to the next. GG Wolves.

  20. ImagineIfBaconDied

    There have been SO MANY seasons where we didn’t even get to 20 wins all season

    20 wins a week before christmas is insane

    what do i do with my hands

  21. WembyandTheWolves

    What a fucking game!! After that terrible first quarter, the Wolves locked in. I fuckjng love this damn team so much.

  22. Aftermathe

    If we keep this up, Gobert should legitimately win MVP.

  23. Rudy straight up son’d Bam down the stretch.

    Shoutout Alexander-Walker. He was so good in the second half.

    I gotta say.. there’s something special going on with this team. When You see KAT smiling in crunch time, you feel like they want these big moments.

  24. What kinda shot was that by Jimmy at the end? I get he was trying to draw a foul but that was horrible. That play lost them the game for sure. 21 seconds on the clock and career 32% 3pt shooter Jimmy choses to pull up for a heavily contested off balance three.

  25. KAT with an insane lob to Go-burt in clutch time just banished all the “Twin Towers dont work in the modern NBA” to the shadow realm
