Summary

On today’s show, we get into the Wolves fourth consecutive win. This time against a short-handed Blazers team that had absolutely no answers for Karl-Anthony Towns. In this episode, we dig into the reemergence of Jaylen Nowell, highlight the differences for Jaden McDaniels since moving into the starting lineup and look at how KAT has evolved as a leader this season. — Jaylen Nowell is back — What sort of role makes sense for Nowell once the roster gets back to full strength? — Jaden McDaniels in the starting lineup, and how we’ve seen the steps he was taking on the bench translate to a starting role — KAT’s recent dominance from 2-point range, and how he’s unlocked that by leaning more into the drive rather than the post up — KAT in his own words on how he has evolved as a leader Learn more about your ad choices.

0:18.2	Coming at you Saturday night after theves beat the Portland Trail Blazers
0:22.0	on the back end of a back-to-back by 14 points.
0:25.6	Final score tonight was Wolves 135 Blazers 121.

0:52.2	weird baggage of winning each of these games being the strong expectation.
0:59.4	I mean, after seeing the quality of just the tanking thunder and the tanking Blazers, these past two nights, like a loss in either of these next two games against the Thunder and the Blazers is,

1:36.1	Both OKC and Portland were missing half their teams in the two games.
1:39.9	So it's nowhere near that bad for the wolves or any sort of excuse really, but it did kind of
1:47.4	change the dynamic of how the wolves played tonight, being without Anthony Edwards again,
