Minnesota Timberwolves stage historic fourth-quarter comeback, beat Thunder in overtime



Minnesota Timberwolves stage historic fourth-quarter comeback, beat Thunder in overtime

The Minnesota Timberwolves trailed by 24 points in the fourth quarter and by 16 with under four minutes to play, but a lineup led by rookies TJ Shannon and Rob Dillingham and leaning on Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels surged past Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder for a memorable win. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down why this was one of Chris Finch’s best coaching performances, as well as Anthony Edwards’ contributions despite an off night. Also, thoughts on the Wolves’ defensive adjustments and out-physical-ing one of the most physical teams in the league.

  1. We don’t win that game without Jaden he was the best player! Give him credit i honestly don’t think you care for him 🫤

  2. I know it’s nit picking, but why do you keep calling Terrence Shannon Jr. TJ Shannon? Wouldn’t it be TSJ? Is this how Shannon Jr said he wanted to be addressed as and I missed it?

  3. Naz Naw mcdaniels r now all looking indispensible for this team – a lot is just chemistry thro the years. Theyve grown together, spend their summers together training, n the improvements r clear.even jaden, he was doing those midrange things early on before they jiggled it up cuz the new guys werent integrating n jaden became a corner guy so randle cld drive n kick. Now we r seeing the rooks rj clark dilly gaza all able to handle pressure on O n D when it counts, and the small ball team switching on d w i find greater ease than when u saw kat rudy anderson naz lumbering abt courts for switches. At one pt the teams played w a 6'6 guy at ctr , for wolves it was tj w jaden out at perimeter. So small ball in this nba can still be defensively competent. If u get a wemby or chet or jokic, naz is hefty enough to defend them.

  4. I’m gonna be honest. I didn’t like finch’s postgame about the okc’s physicality and Shai’s free throw baiting. Physicality gets ramped up in the playoffs and if we want to win a chip, we got to be comfortable playing against that style. Instead of complaining abt it figure out a way to combat it.

  5. Nah, you guys aren't good. Ya needed 39 free throws (32 in the 2nd half) to beat them. OKC had 29 all game. Frauds! Wolves and OKC championship odds haven't moved silly
