Home teams are now 12-0 as the #wolves down the #suns to go up 2-0 in the best of 7 series. It looks like the unbeaten streak might end shortly though as the #pacers are up 20 on the #bucks with only six minutes to go. The #mavericks are also up on the #clippers but it's still early. #nba #sportsonleo
#wolves hammer #suns in Game 1 of the #nba playoffs, 120-95. ANT goes off for 18 of his 33 pts in the 3rd quarter and the Wolves physically dominate Phoenix. Huge rebounding edge, pts off TO's, bench points, fast break...it was a whoopin'. Game 2 Tuesday night. I expect Phoenix to punch back but the Wolves are deep. Should be fun! #sportsonleo
#wolves can't figure out the #suns, losing 125-106 at home, and losing the season series 3-0. The loss drops them to 3rd in the West and the win moves the Suns up to 6th so....the two teams will play each other in the 1st round of the playoffs. The road is now very long for the Wolves to make a run. But, that's why they play the games. #nba #sportsonleo
It's the final day of the #nba season with all sorts of seeding still undecided. #wolves need to beat the #suns and have either #thunder or #nuggets lose to get the 1 seed. Suns need to beat Wolves and have #pelicans lose to the #lakers to get the 6 seed. Too many scenarios to name. Crazy day! #sportsonleo
#wolves hold off #hawks in KAT's return 109-106 and keep the 1 seed in play. Denver blew a 20+ pt 3rd quarter lead to lowly #spurs and lost 121-120, which means the Wolves need to win Sunday and have either Denver or OKC lose to get the top seed. Unlikely, but still possible. #nba #sportsonleo
#wolves try to re-energize themselves after a tough defeat in Denver on Friday against the #hawks tonight. Two games left and they need to win them both to clinch the 2 seed (and possibly 1st). KAT is back so that should help. #nba #sportsonleo
#wolves run out of gas late and fall to the #nuggets at altitude. Denver now controls their own destiny. Win the last two and they're the 1 seed. Wolves now need to win their last two games at home to assure the 2 spot. On a positive note, they should be back at full strength shortly as KAT is about ready to return. #nba #sportsonleo
#wolves go down 21 pts early to the #wizards but storm back to win going away behind a career high 51 pts from Anthony Edwards. #nuggets also won tonight setting up a huge game tmrw night in Denver. A win and the Wolves will have a 1 game lead on both Denver and OKC and own all tiebreakers. A loss could drop them to the 3rd seed. Gonna be a big one. #nba #sportsonleo
#wolves score 79 pts in the 1st half, withstand a #lakers run in the 3rd quarter, and keep them at arms length the rest of the way, winning 127-117 to reclaim 1st place in the West with 4 games to play. Wolves have a back to back Tuesday at home and then Wednesday at Denver which could very well decide the conference. #nba #sportsonleo
#wolves start the home stretch in LA tonight vs LeBron, AD, and the #lakers. LA is one of the hottest teams in the league right now having won 9 of the last 10. They've got their work cut out for them as they try to rebound from a thorough beatdown by the #suns on Friday. #nba #sportsonleo
#wolves in trouble at the half, down 16, 57-41. On the plus side, the #pacers beat the #thunder so a Wolves loss only drops them into a tie with Denver, still 1 game clear of OKC. As I keep saying, gonna be a battle to the finish line. I haven't given up on the Wolves yet tonight though. They've got the firepower to come back... #nba #sportsonleo
#wolves on the road tonight for a big game in Phoenix vs the #suns. All alone in first right now but some tough games left including tonight, Sunday at the #lakers, and Denver again next week. Top seed is there for the taking. Can they do it? Starts tonight. #nba #sportsonleo
#nuggets lost to the #clippers last night which moves the #wolves to 1st place all by themselves in the West with 6 games to play. #nba #sportsonleo Race continues to heat up.
#wolves look to win the second game of a back to back and move back into 1st in the West. In the meantime, the #thunder try to avoid back to back losses tonight vs Boston. #nba #sportsonleo
#wolves get it done vs the #rockets 113-106. Meanwhile the #thunder lose to the #76ers and...here we are again. Denver, MN, & OKC all have 23 losses with 7 games left to play. Denver has one more win so is technically in 1st but... OKC gets the #celtics tmrw night and the Wolves get the #raptors. Battle to the end. #nba #sportsonleo
The #wolves took the momentum they gained by their big win in Denver and promptly coasted to an easy loss at home vs the #bulls on Sunday. We'll see if they can regain their focus tonight against the #rockets... #nba #sportsonleo
🧵 1. #wolves recapture 1st in the West by going into Denver and thrashing the World Champs 111-98. They led by 19 after playing an almost perfect 1st half, dishing out 19 assists with 0 turnovers. (More) #nba #sportsonleo #howl
First place in the West is on the line tonight in Denver when the 50-22 #wolves meet the 51-22 #nuggets. They split the two games in Mpls and they have tonight's game and one more in Denver next week. If the Wolves win at least one of those two they will hold the tiebreakers in the West. Should be a good one! #nba #sportsonleo
