Rudy Gobert’s bounce-back year and Defensive Player of the Year level play. Karl-Anthony Towns’ 50/40/90 shooting and improved defense. And Anthony Edwards‘s star power and clutch scoring, of co...27484Thu, 21 Dec 2023 10:30:06 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/kat-had-a-full-circle-moment-with-jimmy-butler-r27483/Last night marked another chapter in the Minnesota Timberwolves’ rivalry with the Miami Heat.

He had missed three games before that. Edwards came back with enough rust that a used car dealer couldn’t push it off as the paint chipping.

Towns’ reputation as a threat from distance mainly came from the quick development of his...27478Thu, 14 Dec 2023 10:30:05 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/shake-milton-is-getting-more-comfortable-playing-with-minnesotas-bigs-r27477/The Minnesota Timberwolves’ last two games mark the first time this season that Shake Milton has scored double-digit points for the Wolves twice in a row.

He not only filled the gap left by Karl-Anthony Towns’ injury but also thrived as a veteran playmaker, defender, and shooter. Non-Wolves fans may not have realized it, but Anderson’s slow, wonky-look...27474Mon, 11 Dec 2023 13:00:19 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/tim-connelly-and-co-still-need-to-take-a-page-from-denvers-playbook-r27473/The Minnesota Timberwolves have been fantastic this season. There’s no other way to put it. At 17-4, they own the NBA’s best record. Minnesota’s defense has been even stronger than almost everyone could have predicted.

Their 13-2 record wasn’t just their best month in team history but the best in Minnesota sports history. Such levels of success warrant further thought. Jim Petersen said on the broadcast last week that “the Wolves can compete for a championship.” A team ra...27467Mon, 04 Dec 2023 10:30:57 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/an-aggressive-mike-conley-is-supercharging-minnesotas-offense-r27465/Mike Conley has made his mark as a pass-first point guard since arriving in Minnesota. He’s unlocked Rudy Gobert, calmed the game down whenever it has become erratic, and created opportunities for his star-studded surrounding cast. However, Chris Finch has made it a priority for Conley to become a...27465Sun, 03 Dec 2023 06:00:35 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/shake-miltons-best-attributes-are-failing-him-at-the-worst-time-r27464/In Season 5 of The Office, Michael Scott pauses before looking into the camera and saying, “And I knew exactly what to do.

Last year, the debate between Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic got heated on ESPN, and it took over the narrative of much of the season.
