Summary

On today's show, Dane is joined by Wolves beat writer Jace Frederick from the St. Paul Pioneer Press to discuss why the Wolves win over Denver might have been their best game of the season to date.

0:18.9	It's January 27th after the Wolves for their last
0:22.1	game was Saturday afternoon, a 29 point win over the Denver Nuggets. One of their most
