Um, just knowing that the close out game is the hardest game. Um, you’re on your home floor. There’s a lot of expectations to close it out at home. I mean, it’s a great test for our mindset as a team. It’s a huge opportunity to capitalize on, you know, the the two wins that we got on the road. And then I think it’s a cool opportunity for us, a new a new test, you know, we we have to bring it tonight. [Music] Okay. Hey, so we get a chance to do what we’ve not been able to do yet. That’s close out a game at home on our own or close out a series at home in our own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home own home owner.

The series has shifted back to Minneapolis and the Timberwolves have a closeout opportunity in tonight’s game five at Target Center as they enter this tilt with a 3-1 lead in the series after Monday’s 117 110 win in San Francisco. Tonight, the Timberwolves look to do something they haven’t done in 21 years. That’s clinch a playoff series on their home floor. The Wolves lead the Warriors three games to one and can advance to the Western Conference Finals for the second straight season with a victory tonight in game five. Game time has arrived at Target Center downtown Minneapolis. A white out inside Target Center. They are ready to roll. It’s game five. We got to protect the zone early. We got to match their energy. They’re going to try to do everything they can to win this game, man. Watch that little game to go. On three. [Music] everywhere in the corner. Fires on a three and hits it. Here’s Naz Reed on the run by Heel. Ps it inside. Jaden throws it down. The alleyoop from Nas to Jaden brings three inside. Time out Warriors. Dante down the lane. Lobs it up. Rudy throws it home. The alleyoop from Dante to Rudy. Gives it up. Smash stolen by Dante. Denzo is off to the races. Body healed. He’s not beat. Dante rises and hammers. How about that throw down from Denzo. Now to Mike. Can he get again? Oh yeah. Three for four from long range for Mike Conley. He’s putting the Wolves up nine with three to go here in the first half. Randle for three late and he buries it out in the foul. But once he caught it, right to the cup, contact and he goes to the free throw line. The Wolves close the corner on a 175 run to take a 15-point lead. I’m just proud of our group as a whole, uh, organization as a whole, just sticking together, you know, having each other’s backs, you know, just battling the reverse here together. I think we like super confident. I mean, we all together being a good team. We just ready for the next whoever we play next already. It feels good to get to that step, but it’s it’s just one step. It’s not going to get easier at all. We we focused on that. Into the paint, a lot to Rudy. He’ll throw it down. It’s the third. Alioopa the night for the Wolves offense. The challenge we laid down to our guys from day one was quite simple. It was one question. Were you a Western Conference Finals team or were you a team that just happened to make the Western Conference Final? And there’s only one way to prove that. Go out and do it again. Now Edwards gets into the paint. Edwards able to lay it [Applause] [Music] [Applause] in. That’s big time. It’s a big time answer. Julius dives to the rim. The reverse land. Wow. What a finish. splitting through the fenders and scoring it [Music] [Applause] again. That is going to do it. The horn sounds here at Target Center and the Wolves have captured game five and for the second straight season, Minnesota is headed to the Western Conference Finals. Minnesota is moving on and they take out the Golden State Warriors and advance to the conference [Music] finals. It’s a dream come true. A lot of people didn’t think we was going to make it back here, man. So, it’s not just about getting back here. We got to be ready to compete this time. So, we should be ready. Uh, it feels great, man. We’re working hard. Um, doing all the right things right now. Job’s not done, obviously. Uh we’ll wait to see who we play, but celebrate tonight and get ready for the next round and lock in whoever we play. But eight more wins. We’re halfway there. You know what we supposed to do? We took care of our beers on our home court. We’re number eight. Looking for number nine. Just one thing to ask, right? Are you a western compet? [Applause] [Music] Hey, let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go.
