Mo went nuts. Wiggins came up with clutch plays in the 4th. Hibbert got himself ejected in the 3rd. Thad young played well. Thats pretty much it.

Gorgui anyone? 10-10-6-3-2 He was definitely 1 of the 3 keys to this game. Williams, Wiggins, Gorgui.
PS: Didn't someone say Gorgui can't start on a good team.. who was that?

OK, done processing! A WIN!!!!
While Mo was clearly the difference maker tonight (franchise record!!!!), I thought Gorgui set the tone early with a very strong 1st quarter. He had some emphatic blocks and seemed to be in the mix on every play. He sort of settled down after that and made some errors later, but I thought he set the tone. Then Mo took it from there.
Don't underestimate the impact of Robbie Hummel either. Things just seem to work better on both sides of the floor when he's out there.

Wow first game I am not able to watch and this happens. Well, good for Mo and the other guys who have suffered through this losing streak.
And as a bonus the Cavs lost again and Love sucked donkey balls!

Ha...like Misty, I missed this one too...maybe I should just stay away!
Fun to see Mo go off like that. Flip must have really wanted this one playing Mo 44 minutes and limiting Zach to 4! Drew with another 20, and Thad finally showing up a little with 6 boards (although he shot poorly).
Q, I didn't see the game so I can't speak to Robbie Hummel, but his +/- figures are so consistent they just can't be ignored. To summarize last night...Hummel goes +10 and the Wolves win, Love goes -20 and the Cavs lose. Two polar opposite players in terms of their impact on a game.

I don't know if this tweet if true or not, but Robson is usually right about the Wolves, so I'm going to go with it. It's really good news if Wiggins can be our everyday SG. Allows us to start Shabazz at the 3 and bring Martin off the bench for instant offense.

LST, Yes, it was refreshing to see Hummel play some 3 last night, as usually Flip has only played him at the 4.
I agree that Wiggins can play the 2 primarily because he can guard 2's or 3's. The only thing you give up is having a second ball-handler on the floor since this isn't Wiggins' strong suit. But I'm not sure that's much of an issue once Rubio gets back.

Totally agree LST. I've maintained Andrew is going to be our 2
