The Minnesota Timberwolves won on Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans to lock in the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference, but did so at a price. Jaden McDaniels is likely out for the playoffs after punching a wall and breaking his hand, and Rudy Gobert was sent home at halftime following an altercation with Kyle Anderson. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down both situations, as well as the actual game itself — a roller-coaster affair featuring huge moments from Anthony Edward and Karl-Anthony Towns as the Wolves came back and held on to win late.

Late night game against LA for a playoff spot? Why not take swing at it?
Rudy made a huge mistake but apologized quickly. The game against LA could be a nice way to redeem himself. But I wonder if he is not suffering from his back more than we know. He was really sluggish on the floor yesterday. Anyway, the wolves are hurt and desperate whereas the lakers are way too confident. It could be a nice upset. As to Jaden, it is really catastrophic, because you can't expect to go far in the playoffs without him.
McDaniels vs the wall. Lmao
Mc Daniels come on guy your hands are your living. I thought he was little smarter then that.
Figure out a way to edit out when you drink water!! 🤬
I wouldn't let anyone on the team or in the community think it is okay to punch people. Not will smith, no Draymon Green, and not Rudy. The team should suspend him 1 game. What message are you saying by sending a player home at half time and not suspending him? That's not leadership, that's protecting an investment. And anyone can see through that. What is the RIGHT thing to do? Dude, it's suspension. I don't care the costs. You already lost 2 players to injury. Don't compound that with not doing the right thing…. anyone saying we gotta play him to win, is enabling. I am so tired of people using violence to solve things and justifying it. WTF?! If I disagreed with anyone here I can just punch them, say sorry and keep rolling? Is that how this works? Really?
When’s ANTs locked in defensively, this teams on another level
Shorten your bench for playoffs. I would start Connolly and edwards, towns at center, slo mo pf, prince sf. Alexander 6th man, rudy spell towns at center, Mclaughlin 8th man. Nowell or Wendel Moore for any 9th man minutes.
The Wolves just can’t get a break! This team fully healthy I believe would be a tough out. The Wolves sent Rudy home, he apologized and so he should be playing on Tuesday!
I hate when towns gets doubled, and spins 20 times, then underhand passes the ball 100 mph, off target, to someone. How about just make the easy pass when you see the double coming, and how about someone on the team cuts for him too. Finches offense isn't all that great, no one cuts to the basket, ever. Slowmo said in his locker room interview, that Ant has his moments when he's locked in but we want him to be locked in all.
KAT was right, this is what a MOVIE's made of:
1. Who's wolves #1 kat or ant
2. The Dlo situation and trade
3. Mcdaniels defense was finally recognized by real nba fans
4.Ant allstar story
5.NAZ REID
6. Game 82 😫
7. Our playoff/playin storyline
This should appear in a Netflix series 😂
