Summary

On today’s show, we get into the show in Philadelphia on Saturday night, that ended up being one of the most memorable Timberwolves victories of the past decade. A well-rounded affair that tapped into so many of the things that have come to define the Wolves this season. Topics discussed: — D’Angelo Russell’s 27 points in the fourth quarter and overtime. But how this game by Russell, yet again, wasn’t exclusively defined by getting buckets — KAT’s dominant first half being the latest example of how teams can’t affording to guard this sleeker version of KAT with traditional centers — Joel Embiid living at the free throw line on a night of uneven whistles — Leandro Bolmaro making his debut as a real rotation player for the Wolves, and what we might come to expect from Bolmaro if he is to stay in the rotation Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	This is the Dane Moore MBA podcast brought to you by Blue Wire podcasts.
0:18.7	Woo!
0:19.8	Come here Saturday night after a double overtime Timberwolves win against the Philadelphia

0:50.2	I honestly don't even really remember it all,
0:52.9	as I sit here to record this. But I know the
0:55.8	thing to not only acknowledge, but focus on here to start tonight is DeAngel Russell. That was
1:02.5	his best game as a Timberwolf. And honestly, maybe the best game of his entire career. Like, yes,
1:08.3	he's scored more than 35 points in a game many times before he scored,
1:12.7	just looked it up. He scored 35 plus points six times that year he was an All-Star in Brooklyn.
1:18.2	But the difference tonight was that it wasn't all offense for him. It wasn't all about buckets.
1:24.1	And we've been talking about this. Like, that's been the difference for DeAngel Russell this season.
1:28.2	He's having positive impacts on games this year, even when he isn't getting buckets.
1:34.3	Again, he has that insane net rating this year all season long.
