Wiggins actually showed up tonight, so Rose didn’t need to put up numbers.

Looks like a lot of Wolves found ways to contribute tonight.

Wiggins and Covington were especially strong defensively. And the offense was well rounded. They gave up 29 points in the second half, 9 in the 4th. Probably the best team performance of the season.

Covington has been outstanding for them. He gives you even better wing defense than Butler did and none of the ball dominant sonning of the true Superstar in Townes. Thibs hasn't figured Saric out yet, but I'm hoping he can get going because him and Rose (if he can even come close to keeping up his production) are nice pieces off the bench.
The Wolves are absolutely better without Butler.

No kidding. If only Wiggins was anywhere near the max player he’s getting paid to be.

Fun game last night. Coolio's halftime performance really lit a fire under the Wolves.

Coolio did 90s night at a Bulls game recently. This must be a thing for him now.

The Bucks game I went to in March was a 90s night with Bell Biv Devoe. I wonder how much these guys make for these halftime appearances. $5, 10k? Not bad for 10 minutes of work.
JR Rider was there too last night, commemorating his "unforgettable, legendary" '94 dunk contest performance. He compared himself to Jordan and Dominique.

I’m almost positive Coolio performed during a halftime last season... I know Vanilla Ice did, I was there for that. Let’s just say...

Shawn Kemp was so badass.

I was such a Sonics bandwagoner in the 90s. Pacers, too.

Kemp was my idol. I had his Reeboks. It really hurt to go against the Sonics in 96.

I never noticed how useless Chris Mullen was on the Lister Blister dunk (#1). Doesn't even try to rotate over.

Lol, he really did love to stick it to the Warriors. The double finger point after the #1 dunk makes me laugh out loud. Classic.

I really had to laugh at Hawks fans chanting "Draymond hates you" to Durant.

Surprised the fan didn't get a ball thrown at him since apparently soft ass millennial NBAers can't even tolerate a little heckling anymore.
