What really impressed me is in the first half everyone on the wolves (besides Darko) were playing scared and like they were afraid of the pressure and intensity of the game and then did a complete 180 in the 2nd half. At halftime I was 95% certain they would give up completely and we'd lose by 20.

Biggest victory as a Wolves fan in years...That felt amazing...Now lets get this Love guy his money..Big issue is tomorrow's game... We can't play like we did when we got our earlier wins this year and that's lifeless.. Like Adelman says, we can't act like we won anything..That Jazz team is tough

Well, the Wolves are relevant again. Finally! I love the love we get on reddit. For those who don't know this, it's a website for everything, and it has an NBA section, where general discussions happen. Just see the front page. Half of it is about the Wolves Lovin' it!

Three words, OMG.

I can definitely feel the Love. Ha!

we really do need to pay love. even though he is shooting a poor % this year, he is doing A LOT for this team.

Why cant darko play like that every night, he just trippled his amount of dunks in the season in one night!

Pek is a stud, nuff said.

sure glad darko and pek decided to keep us in the game, or else we would have been down by 30 at the half!

i was very impressed with ellington. he can shoot, we knew that. but his hustle and defense is improving every game. i like what i see.

rubio, impressive. struggles all game but doesnt quit. he was staying aggressive in the 4th, especially on the defensive end. awesome!

its cool that we are doing this without jj, beasley, webster, and miller. sure will be interesting to see what we do when they all come back. trade? bench some guys, but who?

That was what I was thinking. Darko showed a little toughness, stuffed the ball through a few times. Williams really chomped on the rim a few times too.

Good to see, dunking Darko is much better/angrier/more effective than mopey Darko.

Darko gets the game ball. As much as he is maligned, he played with great energy and inspiration. Blake is a load, the rest of their bigs weren't factors.

I referred to this as a bit of an ugly win but after additional thought realize that it was a pretty solid effort on a night in which the shooting was cool. All season the Wolves have kept games close. I hope the time Beasley has spent on the pine recovering and observing will not have been for nothing!

What? Jordan had everyone scared to go to the hole! Without him Rubio and Love both have 6-8 more points each. Even getting outplayed by Darko he is a beast on D.

Rubio could stand to develop a floater to his arsenal. Luke got into the paint and shot over Jordan or was able to find another shooter.

That's the game I was watching as well. Darko was going straight at him and succeeding, Rubio was going at him and getting denied, and Derrick Williams took it in there a few times in a critical juncture. Other than that there was nothing inside because of DAJ.

Just got finished watching the replay since I couldn't watch it love.

Amazing win. So awesome to pull one out like this. All game they'd fight back but couldn't get all the way back to even until 20 seconds to go. Lot a guts on display there in the 4th. What a complete difference from last year.

Roundhouse - might as well already get one of the game challenges ready for the rematch: "Who wins the Darko-Blake match up?"

Might have to watch that 4th quarter again...

I was pretty happy to see DWill drive into the paint. He's too strong and athletic to shy away settling for just jumpers! I think darko is being inspired by Pekovich. I have to believe there are a great number of black bigs that fear Pekovich!

Sorta like swimming where the great white shark is known to exist, you're always gonna have that bump to the leg or sight of a fin on your mind!
