Remember some people discussing the Play in Game for us when KAT got hurt? I think we can safely say that won't happen.

“Chris Finch has not smiled once this entire 4th quarters” Michael Grady quote of the game.

good win!
did it despite Naz and Ant, the two best current offensive players, being 10-31
Conley hunting for shots, and obviously hitting them, puts a lot of pressure on the defense

We can celebrate, but this is still our theme song. I found a real good live version.

We held them under 100 in Denver. Icing on the sweet tie breaker cake.

I think the team is better with kat, but I love the flow better without him

I agree. KAT and Ant may be our two best offensive options, but they are our worst ball-stoppers too.
I love the way the ball zips around the court with Conley, NAW and MacLaughlin.

Defensively we were flying around. Top seed would be nice. I really do want to avoid the Suns no matter what. They are the one team I think we match up the worst with.

With this win, we likely have the tie-breaker over both OKC and DEN.

Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrooooooo!!!! What a dominant win on the Nuggets home floor! They even kept them under a 100! Back to first! Telling you guys, the road to the Finals for the west runs through Minnesota!

We need to push hard for the 1 seed. We pulled it off tonight, but there is something about playing in denver that scares me in a best of 7 as a lesser seed. Need home court advantage.

Really nice win with the huge first half.
When Mike plays like this we are almost impossible to beat.
Ant and Naz 0/13 from deep isn't going to happen an awful lot, but we still won.
Kyle and Rudy battling against Jokic.
Our 2nd unit putting the clamps on in the 2nd quarter and sharing the ball won us the game.
Not a good 2nd half, too much fouling and too many paint points given up.
But all in all a great win against the defending champs.
The hardest part when KAT gets back is going to be integrating him into the defense.
These guys are pretty much on a string out there without him with their coverages and help defense.
