Summary

On today’s show, we react to the Wolves fifth consecutive win and 13th win in their past 18 games — a win over the short-handed Kings in the first half of a mid-week back-to-back in Sacramento. In tonight’s win, the story again was the Wolves bench leading the way. Topics today include: — Jordan McLaughlin’s massive impact since being reinserted into the Wolves’ rotation, and Finch calling him the MVP of late — The shooting 180s from Taurean Prince, Jaden McDaniels and Malik Beasley — How Beasley’s new role this season has spiked his 3-point volume to Steph Curry-level heights — Karl-Anthony Towns’ consistent play and emotions since returning from COVID — Anthony Edwards’ worst game of the season, and what is behind his recent struggles (looking at physical fatigue of the knees versus mental fatigue of a long season) Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	This is the day more Mbaugh podcast brought to you by Blue Wire Podcasts.
0:18.3	Coming at you Tuesday night from Sacramento after the Timberwolves first of two games
0:22.8	here against the Kings. And tonight, it started well. It was a 20-point win over the Kings,
0:28.6	the Wolf's fifth win in a row. Probably most noticeably a game where the Wolves made 22 of their
0:35.0	44 three-point attempts against a King's team that had just a really long day.
0:40.9	I think this game was just so chocked up as a win even before Tipoff, so much so that I was

0:53.0	I mean, just talking to some of the King's media people here, they had all just

1:24.5	thinking that this was going to be a game that Fox was not going to play in.
1:28.5	He'd missed the previous eight games.
1:31.2	So I kind of looked at it like, all right, Halliburton and Healed are out, but Fox is in.
1:38.6	Comparing those two things.
1:39.8	And as good as Halliburton is, I'm not so sure that some sort of massive downgrade losing him,
1:48.0	losing Halliburton and gaining Fox. And it's also not like pretty clearly disgruntled,
