The Timberwolves’ Leaders Let Them Down
With 55 seconds left in Friday night’s game against the Phoenix Suns, everything was looking great for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wolves were in control of the game, and it appeared they were about to get their first win against a team above .500, which would have brought Minnesota’s record on the season to 11-5, […]
Suns 114, Timberwolves 113: It Just Means More (Mistakes)
Personally speaking, I absolutely love the NBA Cup. Its sponsors may morally repel me, and it is the exact type of sideshow that the ABA would’ve thought of to avoid the cold grip of bankruptcy. It is really and truly the closest equivalent we have to fighting bears at halftime. It is precisely because it […]

Timberwolves 120, Wizards 109: A (Dry) Spell Averted
All indicators pointed towards Wednesday night being smooth sailing. The Washington Wizards came in with a lowly 1-12 record, and it was shaping up to be 1-13 at halftime with the Minnesota Timberwolves up by 25. Pack it up and head home, it’s a school night, right? Not so fast! In case you got in […]

Two Words, Wolves Pod: Will They Ever Beat a Good Team?
On today’s episode, Ryan Eichten and Leo Sun break down the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 120-96 win over the shorthanded Dallas Mavericks on Monday, their 123-112 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, and the overall trends with the team 14 games into the season. — The Wolves are now 9-0 against teams with a losing record […]
Timberwolves 120, Mavericks 96: Naz Reid’s Statement
With 6:50 left in the fourth quarter, a rousing applause came from Target Center, the loudest it had been all night. A rarity that early in the game nowadays, it was Joe Ingles time. Well-deserved Joe Ingles time at that. If anything less than Monday night’s result against the flailing Dallas Mavericks happened, ghosts of […]

Nuggets 123, Timberwolves 112: A Step-Up in Weight Class
Let’s go crazy! It was a special night in downtown Minneapolis on Saturday as the Minnesota Timberwolves brought back their popular Prince-inspired jerseys and the new court to go along with it in a matchup against the Denver Nuggets. It was a rough start for the Wolves, who fell by ten points right at the […]

Timberwolves 124, Kings 110: It Wasn’t Pretty, But It Was A Win
Chris Finch said before the game on Friday night against the Sacramento Kings that contests like these serve as the “true tests” of the Wolves early on in the season. Why? A game against a reeling Kings team hungry for its first win in four games would often be a letdown spot for a Wolves […]
Julius Randle: Isolation King
It has been a complicated start to the season for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Right before the start of the season, Donte DiVincenzo was moved into the starting lineup for Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards missed five games with a hamstring strain, and the defense has been incredibly inconsistent, especially in the minutes when Rudy Gobert is […]

Three full days off before Friday’s NBA Cup showdown with Sacramento. That’s the basketball equivalent of a spa […]
The Jaden McDaniels Offensive Leap
After a lackluster first half against the subpar Utah Jazz on Monday night, Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves came out firing in the third quarter. They built a lead that would get as high as 22 points during the frame thanks to an offensive flurry by Edwards, helping Wolves fans feel at ease that […]
Timberwolves 120, Jazz 113: Let The Good Times (Against Bad Teams) Roll
Monday night was never going to be Friday night. At least by no reasonable expectation. After a 40-point evisceration of the Utah Jazz at Target Center on Friday night, the Wolves this time were in Salt Lake City to take on Utah for the second time in four days. Ironically, the game started out almost […]

Timberwolves 144, Kings 117: Edwards Sacrifices Sacramento
Game Story The Minnesota Timberwolves embarked on the first half of a quick road back-to-back on Sunday, starting in Sacramento against the Kings. Both teams were on opposite ends of the spectrum.

How to Watch the Minnesota Timberwolves at Sacramento Kings Game
The Minnesota Timberwolves pay their first visit to their ol’ brothers in agony, the Sacramento Kings. If you have not been following the Kings, it has been a sad (yet relatable) string of seasons for them. After a wildly successful 2022-23 “Beam Team” chapter where they convincingly ran through the tape to snap a 16-year […]
Wolves Workshop: Playing the Youngsters and Fixing the Defense
With Anthony Edwards nursing that hamstring like it’s a Fabergé egg, Chris Finch has been forced to rummage through the bench like a dad searching for spare batteries. Enter the kids, Jaylen Clark, Rob Dillingham, and Terrence Shannon Jr. The Timberwolves’ youngsters are three wildly different prospects who’ve all been given just enough rope to […]
Timberwolves 137, Jazz 97: Sweet Sound of Victory
The chase for the NBA Cup has begun. The Minnesota Timberwolves opened their NBA Cup schedule against the Utah Jazz, debuting their bright green court that was met with mixed reactions online.
