0:00.0	This is the day more NBA podcast.
0:16.0	Brought you by Blue Wire podcast coming at your Tuesday night after the Wolves beat the Golden State Warriors at Target Center by 15 without Anthony Edwards in the lineup.
0:25.6	Final score was Wolves 129, Warriors 114.
0:30.6	This was the game the wolves wanted to have against the 60s on Friday.
0:34.3	A game against a superior team that they believe they can play with and should be able to win against at home.
0:42.0	I think just as surprised as they were to get blown out in that game against the Sixers,
0:46.2	tonight they had the same amount of belief in the result, the win.
0:52.4	I think for better or worse, this is just a very confident Wolves team.
0:56.0	And tonight that looked warranted.
0:57.9	39 points from Carl Anthony Towns, a fourth straight, productive game for DeAngel Russell
1:02.8	out of the All-Star break, six made threes from Alec Beasley, 10 points have an assist for Patrick
1:07.8	Beverly, Jalen Newell was a plus 16. Torium Prince was a plus 16

1:28.2	win tonight. And, you know, that's for the reasons I listed off above. A lot of players on the
1:33.3	team had really good games. But I think more than anything, they survived without Antonite
1:38.2	because Kat took over in his absence. The offense ran through Kat, you know, 15 points at the end of the first
1:45.6	quarter, 20 by halftime, and he finished with 39, even after, you know, getting pulled once the
1:51.2	game got out of hand. And I think the 15 in the first quarter from Kat is what really stood out
1:57.2	to be most. You know, with no aunt, Kat just had the green light to go and go and go.
2:03.1	And he did.
