The Minnesota Timberwolves held on to beat the Dallas Mavericks on Christmas Day despite building a 28-point lead and giving most of it back. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down how the Wolves built their commanding lead -- and how they almost allowed it to slip away. Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert were key when it came to building the lead, and while Anthony Edwards hit a huge shot down the stretch, he was a primary culprit when it came to seeing the lead disappear.

The Minnesota Timberwolves lost for a third consecutive time and in eerily familiar fashion. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) makes the case to move Julius Randle to the bench and the Wolves to make a major lineup change. Naz Reid deserves more playing time, and the Wolves need more of the energy and activity that Josh Minott would bring to the table. Plus, a difficult matchup with the Dallas Mavericks is on tap for a Christmas Day matinee.

The Minnesota Timberwolves lost their third-straight after running out of steam late in the game verses the Atlanta Hawks. Join Luke Inman and Jack Borman for the instant reaction and analysis after the game.

The Minnesota Timberwolves dropped their second consecutive home game in embarrassing fashion, falling behind by 21 to the Golden State Warriors and needing a bench-driven comeback that ultimately fell short as Stephen Curry dominated late. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) details the breakdowns, from defensive rebounding and transition defense to a stagnant offense, missed free throws, and an all-around lack of offensive execution.
