Minnesota trailed by nearly 50 points in the fourth quarter of a 38-point blowout loss to the Spurs.

Over the past three postseasons, Minnesota has made it a habit of getting blown out in at least one game of seven straight playoff series.

"In the packed Western Conference, they've gone to back-to-back Western Conference finals. They lead the Spurs, with Wemby, 1-0 and we treat them like the Pelicans," said Cowherd.

Wembayama finished with 12 blocks on Monday night, but a handful appeared to be goaltending or fouls.

Minnesota hobbled into San Antonio and sent the Spurs a significant message in Game 1.

Connelly is only under contract for one more season, meaning the Wolves need to lock him in to maintain the cohesion that owners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez value.

The Wolves eliminated the Nuggets for the second time in three years.

If Shannon is going to be a wild card for the Wolves, he needs to lock in on the defensive end.

If the Wolves are right that Game 5 was self-inflicted, that should be a warning sign for Denver.

After McDaniels bluntly called out five Nuggets players on Monday, the two sides had a few days to react to his comments.

It's an incredible feat to make an argument in one breath and then disprove it in another. Colin Cowhed is one of a kind.

It didn't end up costing the Wolves, but this was a bizarre ruling from the veteran official.

On a day where he felt disrespected, Rudy Gobert delivered in a huge moment for the Timberwolves.

Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, and Jaden McDaniels didn’t hold back after the Wolves’ Game 2 win in Denver, delivering a series of candid and hilarious postgame quotes.

Jaden McDaniels 100% gave the Denver Nuggets bulletin-board material when he said "they're all bad defenders," but he might be right — and there's nothing Denver can do about it.

How many times can a team that is as seasoned as Minnesota, with back-to-back deep playoff runs to the conference, shoot themselves in the foot against a disciplined, championship-pedigree team like the Denver Nuggets?

Just when the Timberwolves appeared dead, they rallied from a 19-point deficit and stunned the Nuggets with a 119-114 win to even the best-of-seven series at one game apiece — and now the series moves to Minneapolis for Games 3 and 4.

While Anthony Edwards and the rest of the Wolves are confident that they can even the series before returning to Minneapolis for Games 3 and 4, there is reason to be extremely concerned about their chances.

Murray shot almost as many free throws as the Timberwolves did as a team in Game 1.

Julius Randle is well aware of the MVP challenge that lies in front of the Timberwolves.

Fans were left to wait in agony during a 1-minute, 48-second outage that happened late in overtime of the Hornets-Heat play-in game.

Ant-Man is the MVP, but who was the best bench player and the most improved?

The future appears to be very bright for Timberwolves first-round pick Joan Beringer.

All gas, no breaks. That's the mentality for the Timberwolves and Nuggets as they prepare to face each other in the NBA playoffs for the third time in four years.
