Minnesota’s youthful bliss could very well be cloaked in resilience, and what looks like competitive ignorance could very well be an acknowledgment that an opportunity needn’t be wasted.

Game 7. Seventh heaven. Or oh, hell. sports.yahoo.com/they-beat-our-…

Maybe Minnesota cracked the code. Maybe Denver just took the night off, as Nikola Jokic said, “they beat our ass.” Either way, the NBA’s marquee series heads to an unpredictable Game 7 on Sunday.

Ant on the difference between games 5 and 6: “We got Mike Conley back.”

And we will see you…Sunday night

115-70.

They can do this thing. But the champs are still the champs.

It’s 7 minutes left, a 41-point game and this crowd is all standing, still here. Still loud.

The first run is always amazing

Kevin Garnett back in the building in Minny…kinda

Conley has played 24 minutes. You’re up 25 at the end of 3. Might wanna sit him for Sunday. Along with getting whatever treatment started for Ant on Sunday— he’s gonna be sore

Ant down. Flat on his stomach after foul from Porter

With these mid-air interceptions I feel like Ant tracks the ball like a cornerback…

Not saying there will be a Game 7 but…if the extra day of rest helps anybody, it would be Murray on that injured calf. And Conley, too.

Still, in the words of the great Hubie Brown, “plenty of time”

Jamal Murray. 1-10. That’s your ballgame. Oh and that Edwards kid.

19 in the first half

This crowd has not sat down since a few minutes before tipoff. And ohh boy, it’s 26-11.

A 22-2 run

Detroit’s own Tee Grizzley can’t see a playoff game at home, so he’s courtside in Minneapolis and getting a jersey from the Wolves

Wolves on this 9-0 run. One thing I’m guessing the coaching staff impressed upon Kat: being patient on mismatches. He still bowls down the lane but he waits a beat to see where the defense is rotating

Nuggets off to a 9-2 start. Wolves doubling Jokic when he puts it on the floor, Nuggets still laying off McDaniels

Conley is active tonight, trying to help his team stave off elimination. He talked about wanting to go to the Lakers or Clippers then winding up in Minny, among other things

New for ⁦Yahoo Sports⁩: it started with a training camp dinner, Wolves guard Mike Conley speaking up to his teammates: “We have to change our mindset…we can’t be satisfied.”

That message is being tested headed into Game 6 against the champs sports.yahoo.com/mike-conleys-m…

'Just because the Ant Man is ready, does not mean that his teammates are ready.' —Vincent Goodwill

A great bit of insight from Vincent Goodwill here:

He points out Michael Malone's father, Brendan Malone (RIP), was an architect of the Jordan Rules.

And MM's defensive scheme on Anthony Edwards in Game 5 - aggressive doubling, trapping - may well have been dad-inspired.

And Live 96 had legends and rookies Nate Jones
