    BACK TO .500! What a win, undermanned on a back-to-back against a top team in the league.

    2-0 vs Cavs, 0-2 vs Pistons. Gotta love basketball.

    Are people still saying this Wolves team isn’t fun to watch?

    Also Luka for MVP, right?

  2. PlayInChampions

    Welcome to Minnesota jail, Donovan Mitchell.

  3. Wolvesin7

    Maybe the best win of the season, without KAT and Rudy and we beat a very good team. Ant absolutely dominated their bigs in the paint

  4. Luka came in and was instant energy, changed the game

  5. Theundermensch

    What a huge and quality win to keep the flow going into 2023

  6. Denched_

    Anthony edwards is an All-star. Why doesn’t he get credit from the media and other nba fans? He really is H.I.M

  7. mitchtoe

    Blah blah blah on a back to back with both of our all star centers gone. Anyways Wolves back baby

  8. Illustrious_Self_713

    What an encouraging win. When everything clicks and we are healthy this team can be very dangerous

  9. Gyroflex

    What a team defensive performance, have not seen something that good all season. Naz went from basically our worst player in the first half to playing incredible, big shoutout to Nowell and Garza with probably their best games of the year

  10. FullBonus

    Seeing Ricky talk with KAT & Naz makes me happy. I want him back

  11. Probably the best game of the season. That was so much fun

  12. Hooper53

    What a game… Wish I could’ve been there in person, looked dope

  13. We won a game with defense and by winning the third and fourth quarters. This is the happiest day of my life.

  14. Queasy-Sprinkles4301

    What if naz reid and luka Garza were the bigs we should build around all along

  15. SiriusTen

    Sorry, this was my first time watching an NBA game.

    Is Luka Garza the best center in the NBA?

  16. bobbywellington

    The difference in effort tonight vs random mid week games is fucking astounding

    We really can rebound if we try…

  17. Arrooooo!!! Big time win from the guys. Team seems to be maturing and finding themselves a bit. Lets hope this leads to them forming a real identity.

  18. organized_meat

    Best win of the season!! Back to .500, LFG!!

  19. FlyingScissor

    Great win. Tough back to back and short handed. Never gave up. Also Mitchell spent the entire night in the Jaden penitentiary.

  20. srry_didnt_hear_you

    So funny that Naz LOOKs like a big tough guy but when he speaks you can tell how young he is

  21. VikingsandWolves

    Luka said “Nobody can guard me” and he was right tonight. Even if we can’t keep Naz this summer/trade him least we have Luka as a potential backup center.

  22. flying_alligators

    That was extremely entertaining. Best 3rd quarter this season, no doubt. The resiliency to hang in there after trailing by 13 is promising.

    Love this wolves team

  23. LeftLaneKing

    Man I am gonna miss Naz Reid. Thankfully Luka Garza will be a nice replacement.

  24. bobbywellington

    I really want to see Luka Garza hit the griddy

  25. barryvon

    what’s the doomer narrative gonna be tomorrow?

  26. Underdog_To_Wolf

    We may have been missing KAT, JMAC, and on the back end of a back to back but they were missing Dean Wade… Hardly a fair fight.

  27. This could be a season defining win if we continue to get things back on track. Overcome no KAT, Gobert, Lil mac, and Jmac in foul trouble. Wolves back

  28. fishytunadood

    Listening to the garbage Cav announcers make fun of Garza missing his first shot because they have never watched him, then he proceeds to put on a clinic. Man that shit is satisfying.

  29. Sharcbait

    Sweep the Cavs, get swept by the Pistons. Wildcard bitches!

  30. WeakLocalization

    The defense in that second half was absolutely stellar. I think this team really plays that high-wall concept sooo well, so when Rudy is out and we switch to it it gives a spark. Completely shut down the cavs guards in the 4th
