The Wolves had a big week: they blew out the Heat 122–94, beat the Cavs 131–122, got outscored in the Cavs rematch 146–134, and then pulled off a monster 19-point comeback to beat the Spurs 104–103.

Ant continues to improve as a scorer and becomes the third-youngest player ever to reach 10,000 points (10K in the land of 10,000 lakes). We break down what’s changed in his game. The shot-making from all three levels, the footwork, and the way he’s getting to his spots.

We also hit the concerns: giving up 146 in regulation, bench scoring drying up, and the ongoing need for a steady clutch-time guard and more non-Rudy defensive minutes. Then we get into the Ja Morant rumor and explain why it’s a foul for both of us (Ja is bad). The fit, the availability, the contract, and what the Wolves really need.

Finally, we preview the road trip (Bucks, Rockets, Spurs), and close with Helping the Pack — this week supporting Neighborhood House in St. Paul. Go Wolves.

This week on Dads and Dunks, the Timberwolves finish 3–1 with wins over the Bulls, Wizards, and Heat — and one ugly, frustrating loss to the Hawks.

We break down:

• A dominant blowout of Chicago, powered by Naz Reid, elite ball security, and full-team buy-in

• A bad Hawks loss defined by turnovers, paint defense, effort, and some despondent postgame quotes

• A bounce-back win over Miami, led by Anthony Edwards, Naz Reid, and improved rebounding

• Why beating the lowly Wizards still matters when consistency has been an issue

Plus: Stat Chat, Western Conference standings, what Jokic’s injury actually means for the West, and a Howl or Foul fan prediction that sparks a bold Wolves discussion.

Go Wolves.

The Wolves go 1–2 in a weird holiday week: a solid win over the shorthanded Knicks, an OT Christmas thriller loss to Denver, then a total letdown vs the Nets. We talk about the Ant ejection, his unreal corner 3 to force OT, and why you never want refs deciding the ending of a game that good.

We also hit the stuff that’s starting to feel like a pattern: free throws (25th in the league), getting wrecked in the paint by a team that shouldn’t do that to you, and the clunky fit of the Naz + Julius minutes. Plus: Rudy’s on/off splits vs Denver (+18 with Rudy, -22 without), whether the Wolves need a real backup big, and why the trade machine is firing up again.

Then we run the Christmas Day slate (Knicks/Cavs, Spurs/Thunder, Warriors/Mavs, Rockets/Lakers) and get into Howl or Foul, including one take we both agree on: the Wizards are brutal to watch.
