Timberwolves comeback from down 24 to shock Thunder

Rudy Gobert is not playing. Dante DiVincenzo is not playing. And here you go, as you mentioned, this ragtag group coming together. What do you think this really says about the Minnesota Timberwolves in terms of what they have in the coffers, like what they could pull out for the rest of this Western Conference?

I appreciate your self-censorship. Right. The self-censorship was amazing. And I'm so happy that you brought up Jalen Clark. You took the words right out of my mouth. Between his length as well as Jaden McDaniels, especially at the top of that zone that they were doing, you could see that the OKC guards were so bothered. And now they've kind of laid out a

a blueprint for the rest of the league in terms of what to do with OKC and tiring them out and then making them feel uncomfortable and speeding up their offense. So I'm curious to you, John, is this game more of a tell for Minnesota and what they're capable of? Or is it more of a tell of OKC and how easily they can be disrupted?

The biggest way that the true competitor in Ant Edwards came out to me, yes, those plays were massive, but it was in that post-game interview with the Timberwolves inter-arena host in which you saw Ant Edwards with a smile plastered across his face as his teammates were being interviewed about their comeback. He was so excited about the way they played

The way that they came back, which he, I'm not going to say had nothing to do with, but for the most part, didn't have anything to do with. And he was so just genuinely happy for the win and for how they played. That to me is like why he's viewed as such a superhero because he's a dog. He wants to get the win and he doesn't care who does it. And he got that tonight.

Karl-Anthony Towns shines in return to town | Lakers looking for trades?

It sure would have, Dave. I mean, you know, you're right. I've covered him his whole career. I've heard him disparaged, discounted, knocked down his whole career. And some of it has been valid, the criticism that he's gotten, certainly. But I've always felt like a lot of people didn't really look at the full context of who he is as a player, what the Timberwolves did and didn't do around him. And

And to see him kind of return here and absolutely lay waste to the Timberwolves was just a weird feeling. You know, I went to New York for the preseason game with them. And so I've seen him in a Knicks uniform before, but to see him in a Knicks uniform again, at Target Center, it was definitely weird. It's kind of like, this is really happening. And there he was.
