Look at the absurdly dominant Timberwolves defensive stats

In a world where scoring is king, the Minnesota Timberwolves are once again bucking the trend by playing defense that is miles ahead of any other team in the league.

Timberwolves can't be blamed for NBA's ratings plummet

Too many 3s, political viewpoints and awful defense might be to blame.

Trade idea sending Julius Randle to Houston is mocked by Rockets analyst

Some of the wackest ideas known to man can be found via Bleacher Report's fake trade stories, and while the idea itself isn't worth your time, the reaction from our friends over at Houston Rockets On SI deserves a mention.

Why Julius Randle is a sticky fit with the Timberwolves

Randle isn't just known as a player who gums up the offense, he factually does. According to NBA.com's tracking stats, Randle's average touch eats up 3.27 seconds of game clock.

Anthony Edwards slapped with $25k fine for swearing during interview

Edwards has a knack for dropping F-bombs and the NBA is fining him for one of his latest.

Steph Curry in, Draymond Green questionable for Warriors-Wolves

The Timberwolves are catching the Golden State Warriors Friday on the second night of a back-to-back, but Steph Curry will be fresh and so too could Draymond Green.

Sleeping giant Timberwolves defense has awakened

Maybe the Timberwolves' ferocious defense just needed a little time to warm up. Kind of like a diesel truck on a subzero winter day in Minnesota.

Did Anthony Edwards spark Timberwolves like Giannis ignited the Bucks?

After some tough conversations, they just might be on the right track. The big difference between what the Bucks have done and what the Wolves will try to do is the strength of opponents.
