I’m not here to recap the games. You could read about it elsewhere.
What I’m here to do, and what I’ll be doing for every game, is document your reactions—yes, you Timberwolves fans!—-during the game and after the game.
I may chime in as well if there’s anything more to be said, but my thoughts on the game are, for the most part, the same as yours.
You may be wondering, “Why am I doing this?” Here’s the reason, and it’s pretty straightforward when you think about it: I want to represent your voices, Timberwolves fans, as often as I can, in each of my posts.
I don’t care if you have two likes or one retweet—or none at all! If you had something to say, be it observations, reflections or, better yet, impulsive reactions, I’ll be looking your thoughts.
So with that said, and I’ve said enough already, let’s get to your reactions!
During The Game…
(Some) Timberwolves Highlights:
The two found some common ground (in the form of football, of course).
After this exchange, Jimmy provided Matthew with a brand new jersey and a pair of Jordan 32s! https://t.co/EW0Uxw7caB— Minnesota Timberwolves (@Timberwolves) February 25, 2018

Timberwolves Blogosphere:

7) Wiggins 23pts (10/18 FG)
8) HUGE, needed win with brutal schedule awaiting— On The Prowl (@ontheprowl_MN) February 25, 2018
As weird as it seems, your Minnesota Timberwolves are now in sole possession of the #3 seed in the West.
Of course, they're also only 3.5 games ahead of the #9 Clippers.

Nice bounce-back win for #Twolves, taking down Chicago 122-104.
Teague with a great game (25p/7r/7a), while Wiggins (23p), Towns (22p/13r), Gibson (19p/10r) and Crawford (19p) stepping up nicely in the first game without Jimmy Butler.
Wolves now at 37-26, now No. 3 in the West.

Great Win! Jimmy Butler has definitely taught these guys a lot! Everyone stepped up today! Towns showed up at the end and turned the momentum! #AllEyesNorth #PrayForJimmy

A LOT of credit to Teague and Taj tonight. Dunn's still a complete loose cannon; Teague's steadiness let the Wolves survive the first 3 quarters. And Taj's defense on Markkanen was what ultimately let Towns be the deciding factor. KAT found his shot. Taj didn't let Lauri find his

Huge win for the @Timberwolves tonight. Oh and shout out to @JimmyButler for being an amazing human being. #MakeAWish #AllEyesNorth
