Julius Randle went for 31 in the second half tonight, becoming the 9th player in franchise history with a half of 30+ points.

Anthony Edwards has done so twice this season (1-17 at SAS, 12-2 at NOP).

A windmill jam on the side of the court where his family is to cap off a season-high 41-point night from Julius Randle

Everybody on their feet at Target Center

23 of them in the final frame
February 12, 2026 at 3:19 AM
Julian Phillips is checking in to make his Timberwolves debut
February 12, 2026 at 3:18 AM
Julius Randle is going nuclear in the second half, drawing a standing ovation from Wolves fans in the building

He's up to a game-high 37 points (27 in the 2H) behind a 19-point 4Q on 6-8 FG, 6-7 FT, drawing 5 fouls in the frame to put this one away

2 off his season-high 39
February 12, 2026 at 3:17 AM
Finishing is probably the worst part of Ayo Dosunmu's offensive game

His rim FG% is 61.8% (NBA avg is 67.3%) and he's 36.8% from floater range (NBA avg is 44.1%), but....

After missing a FB layup early, he is 4/4 from 2, all on tough finishes in traffic. Touch looks real solid
February 12, 2026 at 3:07 AM
Deni Avdija is up there for worst complainers in the NBA

Offense, defense, doesn't matter

Hasn't had much of a case tonight on either end
February 12, 2026 at 2:42 AM
Ayo Dosunmu has now found Rudy Gobert inside leading to free throws 3 times in the last 2:30 since checking in

The newest Wolf is paying off the big man for his efforts in spacing around the front of the rim and in the dunker
February 12, 2026 at 2:40 AM
McDaniels now with 2 offensive rebounds and assists resulting in 6 Wolves points (plus another dime) as part of this 12-0 run to break open a game-high 20-point lead for Minnesota

Easily one of his most well-rounded games of the season
February 12, 2026 at 2:30 AM
Jaden having the time of his life just destroying Avdija drives in the paint
Jaden McDaniels having a hell of a half

Completely dominating Deni Avdija on both ends of the floor

15 PTS on 6-8 FG (2-2 3PT) on offense
couple of stocks, holding Avdija to 3-7 FG with 3 TOV on defense.

Avdija is a game-worst -20; no one else is worse than -9

Donte is fighting his rear off defensively

2 impressive steals with quick, active hands and just had a nice contested board after nearly forcing a turnover in the paint

Having a great game despite not scoring yet
February 12, 2026 at 1:45 AM
Wolves paint defense has been on point thus far

Portland just 6 points in there, shooting 3-9. Minnesota has been in great back-side help position on baseline drives, too, intercepting a couple passes that way

Blazers are just 4-14 FG for 13 points through 9 minutes
February 12, 2026 at 1:33 AM
Julius Randle has done an excellent job running the floor in transition

4 free points because he's got his head up after competing on the glass. Not abandoning the boards, either.

Good mix en route to a 6-point, 3-rebound first quarter
February 12, 2026 at 1:30 AM
Turning the Blazers over was a key entering tonight:

POR 30th in TOV% (16.7%)
→ 18.2% in L5
POR 30th in Opp. PTS off TOV (21.3 PPG)
→ 24.0 PPG in L5
POR 28th in Opp. FB PTS (17.0 PPG)
→ 17.6 PPG in L5

Wolves doing a great job thus far. 7 PTS off 4 POR TOV + 4 FB PTS
February 12, 2026 at 1:22 AM
Portland is the worst defense in the league against ball-handlers in the pick-and-roll (0.95 PPP) and it's showing in the opening minutes.

Several open looks for handlers thus far, plus over-helping resulting in open C&S looks.
February 12, 2026 at 1:19 AM
Wolves pick up a delay of game prior to the opening tip

That'll pretty much guarantee at least one technical foul shot for Portland at some point tonight
February 12, 2026 at 1:13 AM
Chris Finch says he is hopeful regarding Anthony Edwards' availability tonight, but is still awaiting final word.
February 11, 2026 at 11:21 PM
Gonna be a great show tonight w/ Luke Inman breaking down a very run Wolves win over the Hawks:

- Ant/Julius respond, set a great tone
- Finch adjustments from Sunday
- AYOOO 📈
- Bones stays 🔥

Going live in a few!

WOLVES POSTCAST: T-olves SNAP OUT OF FUNK With DOMINANT Victory Over Atlanta, 138-116

February 10, 2026 at 3:36 AM
34 combined points for Ayo Dosunmu (21) and Bones Hyland (13) on 14-20 shooting (70%) off the bench

13 of them have come on fast breaks with Dosunmu scoring 11 of those

Chris Finch wants pace-pushers and he has them with his bench back-court. Excited to see them grow together
February 10, 2026 at 3:19 AM
Ayo Dosunmu closing over Donte DiVincenzo in this one

He's checking Corey Kispert on defense. Early impression is that I think he's better than Donte in a chaser role (probably any defensive role, tbh). Good rep there + got a rebound and pushed pace.
February 10, 2026 at 3:15 AM
Feels like once a game Finch calls a timeout to take away a great transition opportunity
February 10, 2026 at 3:10 AM
Love watching Bones Hyland hoop because you can tell he's just having the time of his life out there

Totally infectious with this Target Center crowd
February 10, 2026 at 3:01 AM
Reid and Gueye are both ejected

No penalty for Randle
Another fight in the NBA tonight!

Naz Reid and Mo Gueye getting into it with Julius Randle coming to Naz's defense

Whole crowd is chanting NAZ REID, NAZ REID, NAZ REID
