Rockets 110, Timberwolves 105: Randle and Durant Duel in Houston

That was a fun one, just wish it had started a little bit earlier. Late Friday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves took on the Houston Rockets.

The Timberwolves and Bucks Are Going in Opposite Directions

There are some games in a long NBA season that feel like they count for more than just a single win or loss. On Tuesday, the Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks played in one of those games. Without two of their best players, Anthony Edwards (Right Foot Injury Maintenance) and Rudy Gobert (League Suspension), the […]

Canis Pulsus Vol. 46 – Semester 1 Report Card (’25-’26)

Can you believe we’re halfway through the regular season? 41 games in and the Wolves are right in the thick of the race for postseason home court advantage. It hasn’t always been pretty, but the progress has been evident. The Western Conference is tough, but perhaps not as tough as many anticipated. The Wolves have […]

Timberwolves 139, Bucks 106: Joan and the Arc Lead Wolves over Bucks

Every game feels like a referendum on whether moves need to be made for a team with worryingly few pieces available to them. Every moment feels like an invitation for national media to question the long-term fit of the franchise star alongside an aging roster. Every basket feels like it’s made on borrowed time. I […]

Timberwolves 104, Spurs 103: From Blowout to Show Out

It had everything. Fans standing at the beginning of the game for so long that their feet started to ache, a 19-point deficit, a head coach out sick, and perhaps the loudest crowd pop of the season that rivaled the Oklahoma City Thunder game when the final buzzer sounded and Anthony Edwards threw the ball […]

Cavaliers 146, Timberwolves 134: 4th quarter Avalanche Buries Wolves

This feels familiar… a bit of déjà vu early in 2026, as after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers 131-122 in a game that the Minnesota Timberwolves starters dominated – scoring 112 of their 131 points they travel to Cleveland for a lunchtime Prime matchup. Minnesota comes in on a four-game win streak, looking to take the […]

Jaden McDaniels Shows What An X-Factor Is

10 minutes. It feels like a second if you’re going about your day, but it sure feels like an eternity when it comes to a basketball game.

Timberwolves 122, Heat 94: Heat Go MIA in MIN
