After a terrible start, we recover and beat a team we should beat.

Love that we go to towns more in the 4th and play more of a team game and not go strictly Iso jimmy. Butler is our closer but there is no need to go to him for whole quarters when we got towns on the team along with wiggins, teague and crawford.

Hope this is our approach from here on with a more balanced offense in the 4th and go to our closer jimmy when needed. We win a game we should win after losing 2 close games. Good contribution from all starters with towns leading the way.

It was a home game, I wouldn't expect a big philosophical shift from iso-Jimmy once we tighten up on the road again. That 4th seed is key for us, but I don't see it happening the way we've been playing on the road. Our only hope at this point is that isoRuss provides similar dysfunction to OKC

Win the games you're supposed to. We've done a decent job of that this year despite a handful of mishaps. It's nice to be dominant at home.

Yes, especially recently. But I still remember the earlier home losses to the Suns without Booker, the Wizards without Wall, the Sixers without Covington and the Heat. I'd feel better about those home losses if we hadn't lost winnable road games to the Grizzlies, Magic, Nets and Hawks among others. Yet, you're right overall that we've developed a true home court advantage and it's definitely refreshing. Let's win these next two. It won't be easy. The Rockets are really good and the Lakers are a very talented young team. But I'm hoping the Wolves are ready for a strong finish leading up the the allstar break and in the final 21 games thereafter.

Good to see KAT get touches early and often in this one. He is easily the most gifted offensive player on the team. The offense should increasingly run through him, whether it's in the low post, high post, or facilitating from beyond the 3 point line.

A win is a win. I never thought this team was a 4-seed to begin with, so right now I just hope we hang in there long enough to secure a playoff spot.
