Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves dropped their fourth straight game when they visited the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.

The Gopher men's basketball team posted a 71-68 win over #25 Purdue Thursday afternoon and are now 6-7 in the Big Ten and 13-7 overall. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says the Gophers are back to being in good shape to make the NCAA tournament.

The Timberwolves lost 119-112 at home against the L.A. Clippers Wednesday night. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says the Wolves were happy to get Karl-Anthony Towns back in the lineup and the team played a good first half.

Karl-Anthony Towns returned to the team after missing nearly a month with COVID-19 and clearly gave the team a spark out of the gates. After allowing 43 first-quarter points to the Thunder and Mavericks in consecutive games, the Wolves allowed just 47 for the entire first half against Los Angeles.

The Timberwolves host the L.A. Clippers tonight at 7 p.m., pregame on WJON at 6:30. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says Karl-Anthony Towns (Covid-19) is doubtful and guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) is questionable to play tonight.

The Gopher men's basketball team snapped their 3-game losing streak with a 79-61 home win over Nebraska Monday night. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says the Gophers are on track for a NCAA tournament berth due to conference wins over Iowa, Michigan and Ohio State and a strong Big Ten conference this season.

The Wolves will look to get on track Thursday night when they host the Los Angeles Clippers at Target Center.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV 31-9 over the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday night. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says former Gopher safety Antoine Winfield Jr. and the Bucs defense outplayed the Chiefs injury riddled offense line.
