Couple things from Anthony Edwards tonight. Asked him what the adrenaline rush is like after a dunk like the one he had on RJ Barrett.

“I’m ready to get a tech.”

You'll recall the right shoulder is the one that's given him off and on issues since January.

Naz Reid landed HARD on his right shoulder, and he's in a lot of pain right now on the floor.

Anthony Edwards took a tough spill on that last drive. He's a little slow to get up, but he got up and went back to the bench.

This 3rd quarter is the TImberwolves I think everyone thought has been in there, but has been seen so infrequently this season. Better late than never.

Ant with another poster, this time on RJ Barrett. Might've hurt his hand on it?

Ant had only 5 shot attempts in the first half. Guessing that won't be the case this half.

Ayo Dosunmu a +17 so far tonight in a game the Wolves are down 2.

Gobert was in foul trouble the other night and that paved the way for Anderson minutes. McDaniels in foul trouble tonight likely leading to the same thing without eating into anyone else's.

4 minutes, 3 assists for Kyle Anderson, who passed the ball to Gobert for a layup just now.

Took the Wolves a minute to wake up into this one, but they did, and they lead 31-27 after one quarter. Bench with a nice surge to end the quarter and give them the lead. It was like the Wolves realized, "Oh yeah, they play fast," after the first 3 minutes.

McDaniels picks up a delay of game 2:12 in and it's an early technical.

Timberwolves called for delay of game before the opening tip. Drink.

I really like Bruno! Not a knock against him. Just was something that was itching my brain

It helps the comparison that they’re in the same key (D major). So when Frank sings “… to say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels….” It’s the same kind of rhythm, chords and melody as the opening of the verses in Bruno’s song.

One of Bruno Mars’ new songs “Risk It All” couldn’t get out of my head because I thought “this is heavily influenced by another song, can’t put my finger on it.” Then it hit me … “My Way” by Frank Sinatra, particularly both of them using the major VI chord to end a lot of different lines

Anthony Edwards postgame tonight, on the team playing like “ass” but still getting a win, MVP chants, why he feels still pretty far away from being the MVP and the play of Julius Randle.

Wolves allowing a 17-point lead with 3 minutes left to get into clutch time with 33 seconds left to pad the clutch time wins. Chess not checkers.

Julius Randle with his best game since the break. 20-10-4 with 5:57 to play. Wolves by 12.

I like how it's just accepted by everyone -- opposing teams, the teams he on, the officials -- that you can commit blatant lane violations on Kyle Anderson free throws given the hitch in his shot.

Members of the gold medal US Women’s hockey team got a loud ovation tonight.

Every time I look up, Wolves are down 8-11 in this one. Not making a dent, kind of like that second road game in Memphis just before the break.

Timberwolves trail the Grizzlies 32-23 after one quarter. 9-for-23 start for the offense. Like what Dane said a while back that the new barometer for the offense as a whole isn't McDaniels anymore, it's DiVincenzo ... he's 0-for-1.

Kyle Anderson checking in as the ninth man. NOW he'll see the standing ovation.

Standing ovation as the crowd welcomes back Kyle Anderson during the timeout. Think Anderson was out in the tunnel/hallway during it.

5 makes, 1 assist for Wolves offense so far.

No ramp up process for Kyle Anderson. Chris Finch said he’ll play tonight.

You may guessed one of the 3 stats in this week’s newsletter

Here I was hoping Tillyverse referred to the work of Jennifer Tilly. Sad.
