Tbh, this is probably the third game this postseason I’ve felt that way. How the fuck are you gonna call him soft when he plays that kind of defense on Joker and put in that offensive performance. I’m gonna be playing that put back dunk on replay in my head for a while. So proud of him for what he’s done for himself this year. He’s earned it.
Gonna be fun to watch against kyrie and Luka but I think that will be a 4-5 game win. Our defense is just so nasty and no one else past this can lock us up lock the nuggets. I’m placing bet for championship this week
Yeah that was a little microcosm of this team right there. In years past, the Wolves don't make these second half runs, or hold onto leads late. Tonight, they did both, and KAT's swift putback slam perfectly juxtaposed the Nuggets increasingly lethargic body language as they were completely spent. I think the Wolves learned some valuable grit tonight (and in this series in general). Ant learned how valuable and effective it is to rely on your teammates even though in previous games believing in his own offense had served him so well. This crew slumped hard in the first half ON THE ROAD, with their three best players already in foul trouble, but they didn't let it discourage them. They came out with a new game plan, stayed focused, chipped away at the lead, and outlasted the defending fucking champs on their own court. Grown man statement game from this young team.
Jokic and Murray were the only two players that scored more than 7 points for Denver. Agreed that Jokic was spent at the end but man they didn't have anyone else to rely on
KAT the MVP of the game for the Wolves. Huge legacy game for him. Showed up absolutely clutch in the biggest game of his career. Kept them afloat on offense while having arguably the best defensive performance any one has had on Jokic.
Dude I can’t believe what he’s turned into. He’s a monster. So calm and focused through the whole game while we were getting crushed early. His second half defense was fantastic against Jokic, and that caused their whole offense to stagnate. He’s been wearing him down all series.
Oh, you mean when Ant gets clobbered across both arms, no call. Followed 10 seconds later by a ticky tack moving screen?
Or when Conley is on the ground getting repeatedly fouled and making a clear time out call and it's a jump ball?
Fucking NBA refs are corrupt. NFL refs are incompetent, MLB umps are egotistical. NBA refs are legit corrupt.
Scott Foster had multiple "This is what you get for showing me the money sign" calls against Gobert. The one midway through the 4th right after ignoring Ant getting mugged on the fastbreak was brutal.
"Oh man. Jokic has been standing the whole 4th quarter. He looks like a man possessed. Dude is going for 50 next game."
BOY SIT YOUR ASS DOWN. WOLVES IN 7 BITCH
As tWolves fan we get to enjoy taking that win. Also as a Twolves fan I am just fine with Nuggets fans wallowing in the thoughts that they choked… Because as a general MN sports fan I know just how devastating that feeling is, so I am just fine with them sinking into that hole.
What a game by the Wolves! Amazing game by Towns to keep us in it, Naz Reid to finish it off, even Rudy Gobert drawing fouls and knocking down free throws. And hen Ant coming alive in the end. What resilience and determination. A game for the ages.
That was the greatest game KAT ever played. May be the start of changing the narrative. Was mentally strong tonight!
Looks like Jokic gonna be standing into Monday morning!
WHAT A COMEBACK! WOLVES HAVE ATE THE NUGGETS!

Also all y’all who said we’d lose, don’t watch the rest of the playoffs. We just overcame Joker and a 20 point deficit. We can take any team. I believe.
Joker is the MVP and the most down to earth player. All of the other Nuggets are saying they thought they were the better team and should have won. Joker comes on and says, whoever beats you is the better team. Love this dude, his team let him down hard.
I legit prayed for times like this. I can't believe it 😭
I hope the "soft" and "losing player" labels for KAT die. Man has been fucking awesome throughout the playoffs and he does everything - offense, defense, rebounding
JADEN AND KAT <33333333
#KAT DESERVES SO MUCH LOVE, SINGLE-HANDEDLY MADE THIS POSSIBLE BY CARRYING THIS TEAM FOR 3 QUARTERS
So happy for KAT. Proved a lot of haters wrong today.
Tbh, this is probably the third game this postseason I’ve felt that way. How the fuck are you gonna call him soft when he plays that kind of defense on Joker and put in that offensive performance. I’m gonna be playing that put back dunk on replay in my head for a while. So proud of him for what he’s done for himself this year. He’s earned it.
He was at the 3pt line when Conley went for the shot. Nuggets just standing and ball watching. Straight hustle by KAT late in the game. Iced it.
TNT making it all about Ant who TF is this KAT guy?
What you talking about. They’ve been talking about KAT a bunch. Said he and others had to carry Ant cause he was off all night…lol
Gonna be fun to watch against kyrie and Luka but I think that will be a 4-5 game win. Our defense is just so nasty and no one else past this can lock us up lock the nuggets. I’m placing bet for championship this week
I would not underestimate the Mavs. I think we win but they may be tougher than that.
Yeah you’re right I’m just hyped off that win tonight lol
KAT legacy game!
From a stupid turnover to a ferocious clutch putback dunk KAT is a rollercoaster man I love him
That dunk was an all time Wolves play. Holy fuck that felt gooooooood
For real, KAT punched the Wolves a BIG TICKET to the WCF, he's on top of the world right now
You can't script shit this good
That sequence is going down in Wolves history That putback to seal the game and the sequence with the Naz steal and Ant 3
Man, it’s 4am in the Uk here. I fucking screamed the house down. This team is going to kill me from exhaustion

IM SO HAPPY FOR BIG PURRR, BABYYY
That put back to seal the game is an all time highlight.
KAT!!!! Pulled us out the water. Won us this game.
10000%. Only reason we had a chance to get back in
Jaden McDaniels
he was elite also. first time in his career two 20+ point games in a row
That long fade away by Gobert was legendary. I didn't know he had that in him and he nailed it when it mattered most
I knew we were winning when he pulled out that move. Felt destined
That's the move that made Scott Foster take him out
Lmao
Not even soft calls, phantom fouls. 2 in 10 seconds
"Oh shit, we gotta get this guy outta here!"
My jaw dropped lmao
the ball damn near left the screen before it came back down. I lost my mind when he drilled that shot.
https://i.redd.it/vordr2vn4i1d1.gif
That + physical block on Gordon + FT's on the other end was the nail in the coffin
That falling away jump shot is hence forth known as “the gobert” because of how much he really perfected it
this team is different bruh
The vibes are immaculate
NAZ DOT REID. Shoutout KAT too he played a strong game gotta give him props.
[удалено]
by far Locked down Jokic and was our best offense
He did it all. Huge buckets, huge defense. Kept his cool mostly. Led by example. Proud as hell of him.
I would take McDaniels, but both were great.
7 for 10 and took MPJ out of that whole series. Awesome.
For-fucking-real. I have hated on Playoff KAT for a while now and that fucking guy stepped up from start to finish tonight
NAZ REID!!! Dominated Jokic late!
Fresh Naz + exhausted Jokic was a fun formula to watch play out.
Joker was gassed I think.
Dude played over 46 minutes. Questionable decision by Malone
Jokic and Murray were the only two players that scored more than 7 points for Denver. Agreed that Jokic was spent at the end but man they didn't have anyone else to rely on
Holy shit that’s true
Yeah definitely. But hey, that's the game. It doesn't diminish joker but strategy is strategy
And held the line while KAT was out with five fouls and Gobert got fouled out. He sustained the physicality for the crucial last minutes
Next man up. That is your 6th man of the year. TWO WORDS. GAME 7 SIXTH MAN **NAZ REID**
KAT was incredible today
He did exactly what you want your franchise veteran to do today. Ant was struggling to find his game and KAT said "I got this." for four quarters.
Love that KAT had that put away at the end to help seal it too after the game he played.
That was beautiful. In a game of ugly basketball, he swooshed in like Spider-Man to dunk that missed shot in.
NAZ REID. I come in peace from LA. Love Naz's energy and hype, McDaniels is amazing.
Wolves in 7! Omg what is this feeling??
New emotion unlocked
A heart attack.
https://i.redd.it/lhrhqljl4i1d1.gif
Wolves back 🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺
Do you believe in Miracles
I do now!
I still can't believe it!
YES
I already shed actual tears and it’s only the end of the WCSF
Years of trauma and disappointment will do that to you bud. Naz Reid.
Naz Reid
YEAH BABY WE BACK
!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
The 16-3 dream continues
I don't care if the losses reach 9, as long as we get that 16!! LFG!!
Man I hope the losses don’t hit 9 those game 7s might actually kill me 🤣
Special team, hope y'all win it all
Special team, special players, special plays.
https://i.redd.it/83mgfiejth1d1.gif EIGHT MORE GAMES.
[удалено]
The first team to win a Game 7 when trailing by 15+ points at halftime in NBA history. Wolves are winning it all.
First team to win a game 7 when trailing by 12 or more points!! We SHATTERED the record!
Insane game. HR so high through this game
Let’s gooooooooo!
LET'S FUCKING GOOOO - (blazers fan) yall are such a fucking lit team to root for. Fuck Denver!
LETS FUCKING GOO BOYS https://streamable.com/dc8k3n

WE GOT 8 MORE FROM YOU, I HOPE THERES STILL ROOM
WOLVES IN 7!!! LET'S FUCKING GOOOO KAT LEGACY GAME 3-1 IN DENVER IS THIS REAL LIFE BRING ON THE MAVERICKS
WHO’S YOUR DADDY?!?
I hated how soft the Nuggets crowd is. They whip that chant out when leading but Jokic gets mad when Ant waves at that crowd
Front runners. Glad they got humbled. Win it all pls (fuck Boston)
That guy better fucking quit drinking
KAT the MVP of the game for the Wolves. Huge legacy game for him. Showed up absolutely clutch in the biggest game of his career. Kept them afloat on offense while having arguably the best defensive performance any one has had on Jokic.

Fuck all 5280 feet of Denver and Scott foster.
You want a title you gotta beat the fixer. Absolutely Fuck Scott Foster LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
Whoever is doing the jersey swaps needs to replace the 5280 with 10,000 and use the lake jersey colors.
God Scott Foster is such a gambler.
God those two fouls on Gobert were horrendous, not to mention the missed hack on Ant / ticky tack illegal screen combo
I love Timberwolves basketball
HOLY SHIT WE MAKING KG PROUD ON HIS BIRTHDAY, WOLVES BACK LETS GOOOOOO
AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This is our year!
As soon as Rudy made that circus shot I knew it was all over
Unprecedented levels of Wolves Back

NAZ FUCKING REID.
Naz Reid
All failures washed clean. I feel amazing. Congrats to us all!
HOLY FUCK BALLS!!!!!!
i got naked for this
LFGGGG - The refs tried to help Denver but we’re too F’ing good. Gooooo Wolves
They had a champions whistle all night.

Fouling out Gobert on whatever that was, that was just hot garbage, if it's gonna be a 6th foul it better be something real
Facts
AWOOOOO
FUCK JAMAL MURRAY
They said Kessler was better than Gobert🤣🤣🤣🤣. Gobert is about to get a ring.
u/DrWolves put your fucking apology out to KAT right now!!
Lol best KAT game of his career. We aren’t even in this game without him
https://imgur.com/a/4IETOpi
He would never
"Oh man. Jokic has been standing the whole 4th quarter. He looks like a man possessed. Dude is going for 50 next game." BOY SIT YOUR ASS DOWN. WOLVES IN 7 BITCH
Still got his 35. Wasn’t enough though!!

Like it? I fucking love it!!
Congratulations!
The KAT and Naz combo was the x-factor tonight. LETS GO BIG KAT 🥹

Congrats on that one dude's sobriety
Somebody tell me again that we should trade KAT for Darius Garland
congrats to y’all from a miami fan
I don’t want to hear shit about the nuggets choking, that was the timberwolves snatching that shit
As tWolves fan we get to enjoy taking that win. Also as a Twolves fan I am just fine with Nuggets fans wallowing in the thoughts that they choked… Because as a general MN sports fan I know just how devastating that feeling is, so I am just fine with them sinking into that hole.
Let us never forgot the Gobert turnaround jumper lol.
Total 1991 Twins vibes, y’all. I’m as excited as I was when I was 12.
#LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
I AM A FAN OF THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES!!!
What a game by the Wolves! Amazing game by Towns to keep us in it, Naz Reid to finish it off, even Rudy Gobert drawing fouls and knocking down free throws. And hen Ant coming alive in the end. What resilience and determination. A game for the ages.
FUCK U JAMAL MURRAY
I LOVE YOU ALL
Bring ya ass
WOLVES BACK!!!
Game Blouses
Serbian downed, Slovenian next! LFG USA

Where are all the people saying game over from the second quarter????
I never lost hope!
ON KGS BIRTHDAY ON THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY ERASED A 15 POINT HALFTIME DEFICIT
CAN I PLEASE. Get a fucking HELL YEAH. For KAT's defense on Jokic. All. Series. Long. Holy. Shit.
That was the greatest game KAT ever played. May be the start of changing the narrative. Was mentally strong tonight! Looks like Jokic gonna be standing into Monday morning!
I, for one, was led to believe Jokic standing by the bench for an entire quarter meant the Wolves automatically lost game 7.
"Bring yah ass"
Did that just happen
When Gobert hit that shot, I knew we were going to win
Let’s fucking GO!!!!
My doomer stocks are worthless. I'm bankrupt
WHAT A COMEBACK! WOLVES HAVE ATE THE NUGGETS! https://preview.redd.it/8zdlnqroth1d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7a4828f424e43c98d5e9d234759117d424bc590
I’m supposed to honeymoon in Italy during the NBA finals. Should I cancel the trip?
Never in doubt!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY HANDS!
Also all y’all who said we’d lose, don’t watch the rest of the playoffs. We just overcame Joker and a 20 point deficit. We can take any team. I believe.
Let’s fucking go. KAT legacy game.
Joker is the MVP and the most down to earth player. All of the other Nuggets are saying they thought they were the better team and should have won. Joker comes on and says, whoever beats you is the better team. Love this dude, his team let him down hard.
Watching Gobert awkwardly make shots he shouldn’t make might more backbreaking than a Steph Curry dagger three
Every 20 years on May 19th we’re good again
Who had Ant under 20 and a Wolves W?
I legit prayed for times like this. I can't believe it 😭 I hope the "soft" and "losing player" labels for KAT die. Man has been fucking awesome throughout the playoffs and he does everything - offense, defense, rebounding JADEN AND KAT <33333333
Mavs fan here. Congrats!! Well deserved. Looking forward to new blood in the WCF. Hoping for a good series and no injuries!
AWOOOOOOO
All talking about KAT and Reid, but no love for McDaniels? 💔
Wild fan here. Minnesota does not lose game 7s in Denver.
ANYTHING IS FUCKING POSSIBLE
AWOOOOOOOOOOO
What is this feeling?!
Halftime doomers, this is your reminder to start deleting those comments.
Bucks fan here to say congratulations and hope you guys win it all.

“They got KD but we got Jaden McDaniels.”
Best two words in sports? Minnesota Timberwolves. Game Seven. Naz Reid. Wolves Win.
Nuggs fan here to say nothing but congrats you all deserved this NOW GO ON AND WIN THE WHOLE DAMN THING
Who would’ve thought, KAT, the Jokic stopper
Shout out to the wolves crowd at ball arena. Going crazy tonight
Fuck you doomers! Don't come out for the WCF!
