Game 4 Was Classic Minnesota Timberwolves Basketball For better and for worse, Game 4 represented the good and the bad of this era of Timberwolves basketball. www.canishoopus.com/timberwolves...

In the crunch time of Game 4 the Wolves turned to their 3-big lineup with Naz Reid, Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert all on the court It worked with all 3 bigs making an impact, Naz Reid especially who had two big buckets and a no-look assist to Gobert

The Wolves season was on the line last night down by 8 with less than 8 minutes and Ant saved them Started with a quick 5-0 to cut the lead to 3. A couple minutes later, he put in 2 free throws and a crazy 3-pointer from the right wing to give the Wolves the lead

If the Wolves had lost Game 4, these type of plays would be why. Twice getting beat on the other end following a made basket

I talked with Naz about this after the gam, said Wemby's elbow grazed his shoulder before hitting his neck which helped slow his arm down a little bit Naz also doesn't expect Wemby to get a suspended. Didn't seem like anyone on the Wolves thinks that will or should happen

I've greatly enjoyed Gleeman's coverage of the Twins and glad he will continue covering the team Leaving the Athletic and going independent is a big deal so if you are a Twins fan or follow the team support Gleeman

Wolves win and looked ugly doing so. The former is far more important than the latter in the Playoffs

The Timberwolves only have 5 fast break points in this game

Timberwolves lose the 3rd quarter 28-20. Spurs hit 9 of their last 11 shots. Wolves missed 13 of their first 17 Down by 4, Wolves have 12 minutes left to (in all reality) save their season

Crowd is dead silent

Make it 6 and 5 in the last 6.5 minutes

21-9 Spurs run going back to the 2nd quarter

If this were the regular season, this would absolutely be a spot where I would be worried about the Wolves "playing down to their competition" against a team that is still really good without their star player

That's 5 turnovers for Julius Randle. 4 have come in the last 3.5 minutes of the game

Wolves win the final 8:39 after the Wemby ejection by only two points (24-22) Spurs keep themselves in the game and now have a chance to reset their rotations and gameplan at halftime

Well, Game 4 was already pretty much a must-win for the Wolves down 2-1. With Wemby ejected, you can take out the "pretty much" from that statement

And in the playoffs too. Wemby ejected for elbowing Naz Reid in the neck

If this was a regular season game, Wembanyama would absolutely be ejected for that

Wolves up 34-30 after the 1st. Possibly their best offensive quarter of the series

Knicks eliminate the 76ers and the Wolves get a normal start time for Game 5

I think you could sub the Wolves in for the Lakers here and everything would apply to them too

Spurs 115, Timberwolves 108: Back to Reality Anthony Edwards returned to form with 32 points over 40 minutes of play but could not overcome Wembanyama’s 39 and 15. @reichten.bsky.social has the story from Target Center ⤵️ www.canishoopus.com/timberwolves...

This is just unacceptable behavior from an NBA official. If Finch said something, give him a tech.

Whistles have not gone the Wolves way tonight. Wemby pretty clearly traveled there

Wolves just did not generate enough offense down the stretch of the game

Oh good, a replay review as we get to 10 PM CT before halftime

Two Ames, Iowa natives in the house tonight. Former Timberwolf Fred Hoiberg and Harrison Barnes on the Spurs

Edwards with by far his best quarter of the series. 13 points and 5 rebounds including 3 at the buzzer

13-2 Wolves run after starting the game shooting 1-15 from the floor

Wolves get their first field goal at the 5:08 mark of the first quarter. They missed their first 12 shots

Horrendous start, Wolves down 11-1. Like Game 2, every part of the game is failing the Wolves right now, but the offense is especially bad. 0-6 with 2 turnovers

Wemby gets his first block of the game, on replay it looked like a goaltend

Anthony Edwards back in the starting lineup

Chris Finch says Anthony Edwards is in and Ayo Dosunmu is a game-time decision

Dave Pasch: "You don't see championship teams lose games like this. Maybe by 20, but not like this!" literally 1 year ago:

Spurs 133, Timberwolves 95: Rodeo Ruination The Wolves got destroyed in Game 2 on a night that was seemingly over before it even began. @reichten.bsky.social goes over a rough one ⤵️ www.canishoopus.com/timberwolves...

I always find interesting a team being "more desperate" to win a game. In theory it shouldn't exist A playoff series is a zero-sum game, if a team is desperate to even the series, their opponent should equally want to bury them In reality that's not how it works though

That's less than ideal. Don't see a reason to put him back in the game

2nd quarter was just as bad 18 points 7-22 shooting 1-8 from 3 6 turnovers

The Wolves received a ton of praise nationally after Game 1, but have followed it up with their worst performance of these playoffs. It’s been a trend for the Wolves the past few postseasons. They play their best when they are doubted but often let go of the rope when things are going well

An incredibly undisciplined performance in the 1st half for the Wolves. They were awful in pretty much every area, but especially on offense

Spurs have scored multiple times right after made baskets for the Wolves on the other end

Jaden McDaniels picks up his third foul in the first half for the second straight game

Brutal 1st quarter offensively for the Wolves 17 points 7-25 shooting 1-7 from 3 5 turnovers

Anthony Edwards has been ungraded to available for tonight’s Game 2

Ayo Dosunmu returns to the lineup tonight for Game 2 in San Antonio
