0:00.0	This is the day and more NBA podcast brought to you by prize picks coming at your Wednesday morning.
0:18.9	It's March 13th after one of the wolves' most consequential wins of the season.
0:24.9	They beat the Clippers by 18.
0:27.7	In L.A. last night, the Wolves are now not only three games up on the Clippers and the standings,
0:32.9	but they have now beat the Clippers three times the season, which locks up the tiebreaker,
0:38.6	which I think means the wolves kind of are getting close to a near lock to be a top three team in the Western
0:45.3	Conference here in the standings. And they got that win last night in a unique fashion. The other time,
0:51.6	two times I beat the Clippers. They had the bigger lineups, kind of won
0:55.8	with that identity. I thought this one was a lot, and you just looked at the box score, was a lot more
1:00.0	about the guards who had to step up. Obviously, no cat in this one. Nasreid got banged up in

1:26.2	But Ant's the place to start here in this game.
1:29.3	The level of play he elevated to in this game, I think, was similar to the Indiana game.
1:34.8	The first of the three games they've played, they played without Carl Anthony Towns.
1:40.1	What stands out to about just the way kind of Ant has stepped up in this this game but kind of stepped up in the three games overall yeah it was like the middle it literally sparked the turnaround of the game in my mind uh when anne just kind of realized like i'm just going to attack the rim um a lot of it came in transition but then even in like half court sets,
2:04.1	sometimes like a light bulb comes on in his head, like they don't have anything for me.
2:05.8	They don't have anybody for me.
2:08.2	And for the clippers, that's weird to say.
