That was one of the best (regular season) Timberwolves wins in years. Extra rotations on defense, diving for loose balls, and big time shot making down the stretch. Fantastic game.

Wolves dug so deep and found a reservoir many did not think this particular team had. Denver could not match the pure desire of this group. Who knows what happens from here, but this was a game for the ages. Wolves 3, Nuggets 1. Game 5 on Monday in Denver.

I was sitting right there and heard the Naz comment. It was basic and to get a T would be ridiculous but to add on tossing Naz is abuse.

Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.  This is one of them.

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN: "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

The @Timberwolves beat the Thunder by 42 points. That's the largest margin of victory in NBA history (regular season or playoffs) against a team that won 65+ games in the regular season that year.

If you ask me one reason why the @Timberwolves will win this series against the @Suns...I would say "Team unity." Unity between the players, coaches and fans. It's the most connected group in my 26 years with as a broadcaster. Target Center has been a party all season long. It might be our greatest superpower. The Wolves have 9 players who started their NBA career in Minnesota . Of all 16 teams in the playoffs only Denver has more (10). Phoenix is last with one (Devin Booker). This team has truly been "Raised by Wolves." Mike Conley's "Do it for me" rallying cry might be one of the best indicators of team chemistry. His leadership has been vital to team success. I'm ready to go out there and win for Mike too. The Phoenix Suns are super talented and will be difficult to beat 4 times. Let's do it together! startribune.com/at-36-timber…

Wolves with tremendous b2b wins over Grizz/Kings to move to 26-24. They’re 9-1 in the last 10 home games. Giving the fans a great show. Another backcourt bash by Ant and D’Lo. Rudy holding down the paint. SLoMo+Jaden doing everything in between. Naz Reid.
