What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Casey Holdahl @CHoldAll eyez on @Anfernee Simons rip.city/3Ki1BvF – 1:25 AM Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
They don’t pout, they don’t sulk. The Wolves bench channels whatever frustration that may come when minutes fluctuate into straight energy when the opportunity arises. Jaylen Nowell and Naz Reid are the latest during this winning streak theathletic.com/3165288/2022/0… – 1:18 AM Aaron J. Fentress @AaronJFentress
Anfernee Simons scored 38 points in 40 minutes Saturday night during the team’s loss at Minnesota. What are the odds he plays even one minute Monday against the Timberwolves? – 12:33 AM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
I asked Jaylen Nowell if he knew he played the final 19 minutes of the game tonight.
He said: “Just realized that now that you said it. I just blacked out out there.”
Nowell had 19 2nd half points, including 3 made 3s and 3 and-1s. – 12:08 AM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Karl-Anthony Towns was asked after the game about how he’s grown as a leader.
He had a long answer about how so many voices were telling him how to lead, but that this year he decided to lead by being himself.
KAT closed his response with: “In essence, giving less of a fuck.” – 12:03 AM Jusuf Nurkic @bosnianbeast27
👆🏻 Elhamdulillah 👆🏻

If you’re not taking notice of @Anfernee Simons yet, you should be! pic.twitter.com/5IPvZXFvyo – 11:15 PM J. Michael Falgoust @ThisIsJMichael
LBJ was magnificent. Won’t hear a word about his knee injury from a month ago bc they won and he broke 50 pts and played 39 min. Only when he doesn’t play well or loses. And won’t hear the same ppl ever bring up Curry’s knee injury when they blew that 3-1 lead in Finals 🙄 – 11:11 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
LeBron James 56 points is second-most scored against a Steve Kerr Warriors team ever … Damian Lillard had 61 points against Warriors in January 2020, but Stephen Curry didn’t play in that one – 11:09 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Chris Finch on Karl-Anthony Towns’ 36-point performance:
“Tonight, it was a lot of guys were just spent so moving around wasn’t really going to be the answer. So really, it was set up shop with KAT as much as we possibly could.” – 10:58 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

Despite the loss in Mineapolis, that was the most competitive performance by the Blazers since the All Star break. With some important players out they showed resiliency and fought until the end.

Brandon Williams 21pts

Drew Eubanks, a possession after getting checked to the ground with no call, picks up his 6th on an offensive foul and he’s been disqualified with 13 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists in 28 minutes. – 10:29 PM Casey Holdahl @CHold
Blazers shooting 43 percent from three so tough to complain too much but they’ve missed a number of open corner threes in the fourth that, had they converted those, could have been the difference. – 10:28 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Jaylen Nowell about to play for 18 straight minutes to close the game.

Anfernee Simons has tied his career-high with nine 3-pointers tonight. It’s the 3rd time he’s hit nine in a game. Damian Lillard is the only player in franchise history to make 10+ in a game (3x). He holds the team record of 11 (2x). #RipCity – 10:22 PM Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
KAT has 33 and 11. He is 12-12 on 2s, an incredible creativity in scoring at the rim.
Blazers don’t have anything for him, but this is far from over. – 10:21 PM Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
Minnesota leads 123-118 with 5:15 left.
Nowell has 22 points, his 2nd 20+ point game of the season.
Russell tied his career-high with 14 assists to go along with 10 points, his 11th double-double of the season (42nd career).
Towns leads the way with 31 points and 11 boards. – 10:20 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves
JAYLEN NOWELL IS A BUCKET 🪣 – 10:19 PM Mark Followill @MFollowill
Leading scorer for the Mavs in their 114-113 win vs the Kings tonight, Spencer Dinwiddie w/ 36 pts. That’s his highest scoring game since 12/30/19 when he had 36 for the Nets at Minnesota. In 5 games since the All-Star break, Dinwiddie now at 22.2 ppg, 6 apg, 57% FG, 45.8% on 3s – 10:18 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Jaylen Nowell has four made 3s and three and-1s in 19 minutes of play tonight – 10:17 PM Portland Trail Blazers @trailblazers

This giving up offensive rebounds on free throws thing is just so bad.
The Blazers tallest player on the floor is 6’8, and they just offensive rebounded a basic free throw miss — and that immediately led to a made 3. – 10:12 PM Jay Allen @PDXjay
Trendon Watford has his first career double-double tonight against the Timberwolves. He has a career-high 11 rebounds. #RipCity – 10:10 PM Casey Holdahl @CHold
For some inexplicable reason, the Timberwolves have mostly opted to single cover @Anfernee Simons. He’s got 33 points on 10-of-20 shooting. – 10:09 PM Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
These Blazers have guts, man. Impressive fortitude – 10:07 PM Portland Trail Blazers @trailblazers

Minnesota outscores the Trail Blazers 46-37 in the third quarter to take a 109-101 lead into the fourth.
The 46 points are the most in @Minnesota Timberwolves history for a third quarter and mark the 4th 40+ point third quarter of the season (15th in team history). – 10:04 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

The aggressive play and the way he attacks the basket— it’s been fun to watch Brandon Williams in a Blazer uniform – 10:04 PM Casey Holdahl @CHold
Tiimberwolves 109, Blazers 101: end of third quarter. 30 points, 2 assists for @Anfernee Simons. 16 points, 1 rebound/assist for Brandon Williams. 14 points, 4 assists, 2 rebounds for @Keon Johnson. 11 points, 7 rebounds for @Drew Eubanks. – 10:03 PM Portland Trail Blazers @trailblazers
To the 4th we go.
#RipCity pic.twitter.com/qp1x0XBPFG – 10:03 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
A Jaylen Nowell-fueled 2-for-1 to close the 3rd quarter.
Quick attack with 33 seconds left that led to an and-1. Then, a pull-up 3 as time expires.
He doesn’t just have that in his bag, that is his bag. – 10:02 PM Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Jaylen Nowell with a 3. He’s up to 14 points and they’ve been big here in the 3rd as the Wolves have gotten a little breathing room. – 10:01 PM Casey Holdahl @CHold
No one has been able to stay in front of Brandon Williams – 9:58 PM Jamie Hudson @JamieHudson_
Can’t decide if that deep Anfernee Simons three early in the third or the call on that three from Kevin Calabro was better! – 9:48 PM Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Anfernee Simons has been tremendous. 30 points and doing this all by himself. – 9:47 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

Karl-Anthony Towns grabbed his 10th rebounds of the night. With his 24 points, he’s tallied his 23rd 20+ point/10+ rebound game of the season (229th career). – 9:42 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Wolves are going have to play the rest of the way tonight without:
Edwards (knee)
Beverley (ankle)
Prince (back spasms)
Beasley (ejection) – 9:41 PM Portland Trail Blazers @trailblazers
27 points & we’re 6 minutes into the 3rd pic.twitter.com/vECumygBkZ – 9:41 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Little context on the Malik Beasley ejection that I’m not sure was picked up on TV: The possession before, Eubanks dunked on Beasley and said something to him.
Beasley was hot, they got into it the next possession, and Beasley head-butted him. – 9:39 PM Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LAL gave up a 40-point 3rd Q vs. the Clippers on Thursday, and GSW has 40 with 1 min. left in the 2nd Q tonight. – 9:38 PM Portland Trail Blazers @trailblazers
💥 DREW 💥 pic.twitter.com/p3ZQKZxpZb – 9:37 PM Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
It looked like Malik Beasley tried to headbutt Eubanks when they both got tied up under the basket. – 9:37 PM Casey Holdahl @CHold
I think Malik Bealsey just headbutted Drew Eubanks and he’s been ejected – 9:36 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves
DLo no-look dime 🧊 pic.twitter.com/UgSPCm8mvp – 9:35 PM Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
Timeout Portland as the @Minnesota Timberwolves lead 75-71 with 9:03 left in the third quarter.
Russell’s last assist to Vanderbilt was his 10th of the night, his 12th game of the season with 10+ assists. With 8 points, he’s approaching his 11th double-double of the season. – 9:32 PM Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Uh oh. Taurean Prince has back spasms and is listed as doubtful to return. – 9:27 PM Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR

Wow. An incredible runner from KAT to close the half. He’s got 18, 6r, 2a in the first half. Wolves still down 64-63 to Blazers, who are shooting 51% FG, 47% 3 and shot 17 FTs. – 9:09 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

Winning this second half will go hand in hand with how KAT fights for position against this small Blazers team.
On consecutive possessions KAT:
1st. locked and sealed for a lob entry on the block
2nd. Posted up and by the time he caught it was at the 3-point line – 9:02 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves
