Big win. Need 1 of the next 3. Any more and its gravy and then the schedule really softens up to make a legit run

Minnesota's been on the wrong end of games like this in past years. Felt like they'd be hanging even with teams only for them to flip the switch late and secure the win. Well, this year the Wolves have been much better at being the team that turns it on in the clutch. Still some areas to clean up, but this thing is clearly moving in the right direction under Chris Finch.

Kat had 17/17/4 blks on 7 shots

That last play was designed for Kat but Dlo made the play

Just made some incredible plays out there - had 3 blocks and 3 steals too. I thought he and Vando really keyed the win. Yes, DLO made the game winner and KAT came up pretty big in the 2nd half, but Ant and Vando turned the tide in this one.

Ant was huge with very little energy out there for much of the game. Big win in spite of the hiccups at the end.

Agreed. The Wolves have so many players who can just go off and take over. Such a luxury. Don't know if they are super consistent but damn this team is fun

D-Lo put the young fella Anfernee on his hip and escorted him to the rim like a baby. Late help because RoCo couldn't leave KAT. Can't imagine he'll have many game-winners that are that easy in the future.

Portland played their asses off and we won. We also played hard even shots weren't going down.

That was a joy

I really wanted to see McDaniels continue to make strides but he wasn't playing well and Finch went the way of T. Prince, probably rightfully so. Lots of players seemed lethargic at times and plenty of players couldn't hit shots, defense was very suspect at times. ANT grabbed the game by the balls and put up a monstrous effort, giving life to the whole team. This team has flaws but they are very fun to watch and I have hope that players continue to develop and get better. Nice win!
