Blowing a 20 point lead in a game 7 at home is WICKED
-
It’s so hilarious that the nuggets made fun of the lakers for blowing a 20 point lead, then their season ends off a 20 point blown lead😂
-
Those 600 Twolves fans sounded more like 4,000
-
Losing with a 20 point lead AND the MVP AND home court is absolutely mind boggling
-
When Gobert made that circus shot I knew they were going to win because there is no way
-
Easily one of the greatest moments in Minnesota pro sports history
-
As a Timberwolves fan I can’t tell how happy I was when they won this game. This is our second trip to the Western Conference finals, the first came all the way back in 2004. Winning game 6 by 45 points definitely gave the team the motivation to make this comeback, I went craY when RUDY GOBERT made that midrange fadeaway Let’s Go Wolves! Update: we lost to the Mavs in 5. However, knowing that we had to take down the defending champs to get there, I’m happy with our postseason run. Let’s keep the roster together and improve! #LETSGOWOLVES

the CROWD was wild this game and props. Even during the wolves run the crowd was screaming both ways. They knew they were witnessing something special, they were witnessing why we watch these games
-
When Gobert hit that fadeaway, that was the momentum shifter lol
-
28-5 run for the comeback in game 7. We just witness history
-
The Timberwolves's bench is so supportive and fun to watch. I love their reactions it's literally your best bros hyping you up after every little success.
-
Underratedly, Conley’s veteran presence has been the game changer for the wolves
-
Blowing a 20 points lead on elimination match is crazy. Congrats to T-Wolves! 🎉
-
not gonna lie i havent been this hyped on a playoff game since 2016 finals
-
Holy. The T-Wolves crowd at an away game is wild!
-
9:15 what a great moment for towns. Ridiculed his whole career. A thunderous slam to put away the champs in their house. Take that haters!
-
Right now, this is probably the biggest win in franchise history for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Not only making their first Western Conference Finals since 2004, but knocking out the defending NBA Champions.
-
Ant wasnt lying when he said its going to be one of the best game 7. 20 pts comeback at opponent's home is CRAAAAAZY!
-
7:30 Jokic couldn’t believe that bullshit ☠️
-
They say Jordan couldn’t play in today’s game but every time somebody gets in trouble they go to the backdown fadeaway ‼️
