Canis Pulsus Vol. 47 – Quarterly Report 3 Results

The Minnesota Timberwolves still well in the hunt for home court advantage in the playoffs. How did they get there? Their seesaw effort certainly had to do with it. The front office tinkering with some marginal moves had an effect. We asked, and 50 of you responded with who you thought contributed the most. It’s […]

Timberwolves 117, Grizzlies 110: Matched Intensity – A Rarity

It may not have looked like much, but it was honest work. Coming in as 13.5-point favorites over a tanking Memphis Grizzlies team, Tuesday night shaped up to be one of those matchups for a Minnesota Timberwolves team and fanbase that have been tortured by a lack of effort and defensive intensity against teams trying […]

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Memphis GrizzliesDate: March 3rd, 2026Time: 7:00 PM CSTLocation: Target CenterTelevision Coverage: FanDuel Sports Network – NorthRadio Coverage: Wolves App, iHeart Radio There’s a very specific kind of confidence that creeps in when you beat the Denver Nuggets on national television.

Two Words, Wolves Pod: Timberwolves Beat Up on the Nuggets

On today’s episode, Ryan Eichten and Leo Sun go over Leo’s experience at the Intuit Dome and the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 117-108 win over the Denver Nuggets. — Anthony Edwards only scored 21 points on 9-19 shooting, but made the correct pass down the stretch of the game when the Nuggets guarded him with two players […]

Eyes on Iowa Wolves: Return to Zyon

February has come and gone. The Iowa Wolves continued to experience more ups and downs, but they’re still in the fight for a playoff spot. In this edition of Eyes on Iowa Wolves, we get you caught up on last month’s action, including a new two-way contract signee. A signing that probably should’ve happened months […]

Minnesota Lynx Offseason Update Vol. 12: Seasons Winding Down

Hey, guess what … it’s time for a new Lynx Offseason Update! As we hopefully get closer to a CBA deal as we less than two weeks away from the deadline set by the WNBA to reach a new deal without impact of a delayed season, the offseason has continued — and already ended for a few — for […]

Timberwolves 117, Nuggets 108: Sprinting to the Finish Line

The Minnesota Timberwolves gutted out an ugly win at the Intuit Dome on Thursday night before having two days off to prepare for a familiar opponent.

Minnesota Timberwolves at Denver NuggetsDate: March 1st, 2026Time: 2:30 PM CSTLocation: Ball ArenaTelevision Coverage: ABCRadio Coverage: Wolves App, iHeart Radio After a relatively mundane month of February, the kind where the Timberwolves looked like they were physically present but spiritually on a beach somewhere, March is kicking the door down with a steel chair. This […]

Why They Won’t Say Ant’s Name

Anthony Edwards hit another one of those “are you kidding me?” threes Thursday night. The Wolves were trying to survive late, the Clippers were hanging around, and then Ant rises, launches, and basically ends the game with a shot that makes you do the involuntary living-room walk-around. For anyone who’s actually been watching Minnesota the […]

Kyle Anderson’s Top 5 Plays with the Timberwolves

On Thursday, it was reported that Kyle Anderson will be reuniting with the Minnesota Timberwolves following a buyout with the Memphis Grizzlies.

He played an outsized role throughout […]

Canis Pulsus Vol. 47 – Quarterly Report 3

We’re officially in the final quarter of the season. It seems like it was just yesterday where Minnesota was unable to beat any team over .500, while they were incapable of losing to a sub .500 team. We were still hoping for Terrence Shannon Jr. and Rob Dillingham to alleviate our depth issues. Anthony Edwards […]

Timberwolves 94, Clippers 88: As We Expected

Sorry to spoil the recap, but everything that happened tonight was exactly as you would’ve expected. You would think that after three whole days off, the Los Angeles Clippers would be well-rested against the Minnesota Timberwolves. They had just thrashed the Wolves by 19 at Target Center a few weeks ago, as Kawhi Leonard dominated […]

Slo-Mo is back! On Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reported that Kyle Anderson has agreed to a buyout with the Memphis Grizzlies and plans to sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

After a disappointing home loss to the Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers, the Minnesota Timberwolves begin their trifecta of matchups during a west coast road trip with the Portland Trail Blazers, who will be without Shaedon Sharpe and first-time all-star Deni Avdija.

A new week means it’s time for a new Lynx Offseason Update! Though we have yet to see a CBA deal reached between the WNBA and the players’ union, we’re just going to pretend like it has already happened and hopefully that means it will. That’s how it works, right? Well, the Minnesota Lynx and […]

The Rudy Gobert Flagrant Time Bomb

Rudy Gobert picked up another flagrant Friday night. Another suspension. Another entry in what’s quietly become one of the strangest subplots of this Timberwolves season: the Frenchman vs. The Whistle. This time it happened under the basket against Dallas. Gobert and Marvin Bagley III were wrestling for position like two heavyweight boxers in a phone […]

Timberwolves 122, Mavericks 111: Knocking the Rust Off (Hopefully)

We’re back! After more than a full week off for the All-Star Break that saw Anthony Edwards win All-Star Game MVP, the Minnesota Timberwolves were back in action Friday night at Target Center against the Cooper Flagg-less Dallas Mavericks.

Biggest Post All-Star Break Questions for the Timberwolves

Here we are, the home stretch of the NBA regular season. It’s been a bumpy first two-thirds of the schedule for the Minnesota Timberwolves. They’ve had some high-hights, including a pair of wins against the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder, and many low-lows, most notably a five-game losing streak in January. With the All-Star break […]
