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…

Really strong win for Wolves. Did what they should do against a short-handed team. Rested starters for 2nd night of back-to-back

Wolves finish the 2017 calendar year with a 43-43 record, their best since 2004.

The Timberwolves finish the calendar year of 2017 at 43-43, which has to be the first calendar year the Wolves have been .500 or better since what, 2004 or 2005?

Takeaways
1) Jimmy continues to be great
2) KAT beasting on both ends
3) IND lacked scoring-punch
4) Beli 2/11, has to improve
5) Still need backup wing
6) Needed low-stress win
7) Happy New Year!— On The Prowl (@ontheprowl_MN) January 1, 2018
