    STILL TOP DOGGS IN THE WEST!!

    Our Center rotation absolutely dominated tonight!! Watching Westbrook play C for them is pretty hilarious.

    Probably the best all-around game of the season!

  2. mnsportsfan

    Wild win in Vegas and wolves win in LAC…

    Put your hands up if you saw that coming…

    Now, look around everyone, make note of the dirty rotten liars for future threads 😂

  3. DrWolves

    Ant 23/7/8 on a poor shooting night. 9 assists last game. Love how this dude is distributing the ball. Should have been more too. Great win overall lets goo!!!

  4. Our defense absolutely clamped them in second half

  5. 👇 Don’t mind me 👇 I’m just on the Wolves bench 👇 Somebody dunk 👇

  6. Philelverumfan69

    If Kyle Anderson can play like this the rest of the year I have some comments to delete

  7. Dominant win for the first seed, couldn’t have been any better

  8. hoodfavhoops

    great game from the wolves, absolutely destroyed the clippers inside, especially in the third quarter. ‘

    Love seeing KAT be aggressive off the catch. As good as Ant is, KAT is still the most effective and best offensive player (imo)

  9. unwinagainstable

    Undefeated in the era of The Count of Monte Assist/TO

  10. quietsam

    We got whatever we wanted in the paint. Straight up 90s win.

  11. Make no mistake gentlemen, this is a huge win. Not only did we beat the Clippers, we beat a Clippers team that is maybe the hottest team in the NBA right now over the last several weeks. We also beat them at home when they had every reason and want to get this win. Winning a road game like this is tough. Not only did we do all that, we dominated them.

    This is a demoralizing loss for the Clippers team and a big statement win for our team. Add the Bucks blowout on top of this and we got a chance to build on some serious momentum after the all-star break. The slump may be over and if it is, the league is in trouble.

  12. Cameron-0-

    monte must be so happy he’s outta detroit lmao

  13. Formal_Junket_1585

    Great win man. Got the blazers twice before the ASB lets get some separation

  14. cokefriend

    NAW stayed locked in until the final buzzer
    Not even a 20 point lead with 30 seconds left is safe for the wolves

  15. DeStupak

    Best Timberwolves game this season, without a doubt. Complete team effort, no player had a bad game, refs allowed physical basketball and there almost no bad calls. Many highlights and two teams with absolutely different roster construction and playstyle. It was worth staying up till 4:30 at the morning, now I doubt I’ll fall asleep. GG Clippers.

    ​

    Wondering if Chuck will finally give some flowers to Wolves for their games against his favourite team, LAC.

  16. fishytunadood

    One of the best defensive clinics by Gobert that I’ve seen. Holy shit, he was contesting everything at the rim.

  17. No-Strawberry7814

    If Ant could hit his threes, thats a 30 point win @ Clippers. I’m gonna pay for it tomorrow, but it’s worth staying up for.

  18. dys0n_giddey

    Best performance of the season.

    Just incredible all around. Everyone played their part to perfection.

    Goddamn that was good!

  19. alphriel

    Where’s the “We win with Zubac” Clippers cope now? Just admit Rudy eats up your small ball and move on.

  20. twinsguy1

    So many bad takes after the Chicago game. Yes, the late game stuff is a big issue, but people just assuming this team is gonna fall apart was always an over-reaction.

    This is team is awesome, and if you are gonna fall apart every time they lose, I feel bad for you cause you’re gonna miss out on a lot of the fun.

  21. Gyroflex

    massive props to kat and rudy for playing awesome in the matchup all the talking heads said would be their kryptonite

  22. Philelverumfan69

    Your Minnesota Timberwolves just blew out two top 4 teams in their respective conferences ‼️

  23. Wooden-Resource-8779

    Just wanted to acknowledge the 0 turnovers from Monte, which is exactly what we got him for. In Finchy I trust, amazing win for Minnesota!

  24. goingtothegreek

    Best win of the year, my favorite win of the year. The Morris addition is already looking big. Defense is suffocating. Rudy slapping Russ around. Offense humming. Ant going 1/8 from 3 but it’s an intentional bank. Vibes immaculate.

  25. HackWaters

    Remember after our last matchup, some Clippers fans acting smug and saying they weren’t worried about us. Wonder if they changed their mind after this one.

  26. YoungArsenal

    Montesota Morris seems like a solid pickup. Hope he can get into game shape and get to know the team quickly.

    What a fantastic win tonight, 100% worth stayin up late.

  27. Hefty-Profession-567

    Monté is a pressure valve. We needed one. Also, we never get these buyout guys, so I didn’t realize that you’re bringing someone in who’s instantly bought in. Anyway shits great. I hope everyone gets high or drunk and laid. I love the wolves.

  28. Mindless_Bad_1591

    I liked Monte out there. Seems like he fits well with our rotation.

  29. WrestleBox

    Rudy absolutely terrorized them tonight. I know Russ is gonna be screaming into some pillows later.
