Donte DiVincenzo on being a team-high +20:

“Kinda just focussing on the little things. Loose balls. Getting my hands on stuff. Disrupting their rhythm of plays…

Anthony Edwards on getting up and blocking shots:

“I just be watching Dwyane Wade clips. He was beating shit at the rim so I just be trying to beat shit at the rim.”

Julius Rande on Rudy Gobert:

“I want to give a shoutout to Big Ru man. What he did tonight is not gonna show up in the boxscore but what he did in that fourth quarter, Ant challenged him. At the beginning of the fourth he said, ‘I need you to stop fouling…’

Anthony Edwards on Donte DiVincenzo:

“I love Donte. I told him after the game he’s got gorilla nuts.”

“When he took the three at the end today I was like ‘Ah Donte’ and then he made it I was like, ‘Let’s fucking go Donte.’”

Chris Finch on the criticism Rudy Gobert receives:

“It’s a joke that he wasn’t a finalist for Defensive Player of the Year.”

“He’s an outstanding defender. He’s an outstanding professional. He’s an outstanding person and is about the right things.”

Good night, Wolves Nation 🫡

Chris Finch on Rudy Gobert defensively vs Jokić

“He was phenomenal. Surviving the foul trouble. Playing his defense before the catch. After the catch. Challenging everything. It’s hard as heck to guard those guys, there in every single action down.”

Jaden McDaniels, deadpan delivery, on what worked for the Timberwolves offensively.

Jaden: “Go at Jokic, Jamal, all the bad defenders. Tim Hardaway, Cam Johnson, Aaron Gordon, their whole team.”

Q: They’re all bad defenders?

Jaden: “Yeah, they’re all bad defenders.”

Chris Finch on Rudy Gobert's defense

"It's a joke that he wasn't a finalist for DPOY. — Usually all by himself, he's a top-five defense in the league."

"It's just laughable and small-minded and petty, all the crap that people decided to give Rudy."

Ant after going 10/25 from the field:

"I'm ass bruh. Fuck" 🤣

NBA Final Score - Timberwolves 119, Nuggets 114: Survive. Settle. Smack Back. Anthony Edwards 30-point double-double helped Minnesota survive, but his team’s tenacious late game defense stole game two.

Ayo vs Jokic

Five out offense by Wolves has gotten them back in this game.

If the Timberwolves have the ball with less than 10 seconds left in a quarter it is basically a guarantee that the other team is going to score somehow

Welp.
