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:
As a kid, you believe in Santa, he seems oh so real,
And now, we believe in a man by the name of Jimmy G. Steals. https://t.co/BAoRcSJrIV— Minnesota Timberwolves (@Timberwolves) December 26, 2017
11-0 run, that's quite a chunk!

We’re playing with hustle, we’re playing real tough.
We’re happy the @Lakers got their stockings stuffed. https://t.co/rsr0u4V1Ye— Minnesota Timberwolves (@Timberwolves) December 26, 2017
After The Game…
Timberwolves Media:
Taj Gibson comes up big again for Wolves. Doesn’t have too many offensive bursts in the 4th quarter but that one was needed
— Jace frederick (@JaceFrederick) December 26, 2017
It's final: Wolves use a 38-24 fourth quarter to beat Lakers team without Ball and Ingram 121-104 on Christmas night at Staples Center. That's four straight wins for Wolves, including 3-0 on road trip that ends tonight

Butler was Butler, KAT played good 2-way basketball, Wiggins' swag is coming back.
The games are ugly right now, but they're going to get better. POR/DEN games + this 4th quarter promising signs.

Strong finish for Wolves. Gibson hitting everything in sight. Towns good on both ends. Butler clutch in the 4th.

A lot of people running with the "Wolves need to play faster" which yes they do with their athleticism, but with the minutes they play they would not survive pushing it constantly.The thing that stands out more to me is all the late clock situations. Start the O earlier.

Just in case that basketball game wasn't good enough the first time, it's apparently re-airing immediately on TNT since I haven't bothered to change the channel yet.

Timberwolves Fans:
Tonight was the worst game I have ever seen Jeff Teague play. Incredibly lazy passes, and an absolute lack of giving a shit on defense. Tyus should've played 26+ minutes.

Lmao “I barely watch the Timberwolves but damnit my opinion is right over yours” is on full swing tonight. Let us loyal Wolves fans enjoy. goodnight 😘💤

The Timberpups are finally starting to play like we thought they would. Still some things to clean up, especially defensively, but the wins are starting to pile up! #4inARow #JimmyBuckets4MVP #AllEyesNorth
