Spurs 126, Timberwolves 123: Edwards’ Double Nickel Still Short Changed
Game Story Six days ago, the Minnesota Timberwolves were the talk of the NBA discourse after a ridiculous 19-point comeback over the San Antonio Spurs.

Canis Pulsus Vol. 46 – Semester 1 Report Card (’25-’26)
Can you believe we’re halfway through the regular season? 41 games in and the Wolves are right in the thick of the race for postseason home court advantage.

Timberwolves 139, Bucks 106: Joan and the Arc Lead Wolves over Bucks
Every game feels like a referendum on whether moves need to be made for a team with worryingly few pieces available to them. Every moment feels like an invitation for national media to question the long-term fit of the franchise star alongside an aging roster. Every basket feels like it’s made on borrowed time. I […]

Timberwolves 104, Spurs 103: From Blowout to Show Out
It had everything.

Timberwolves 131, Cavaliers 122: A Brief Amnesty From Real Life
