The Timberwolves Are Back at Target Center<\/p>\n
You know that feeling when you come home from vacation: still half-sunburned, your brain a little too relaxed, and your luggage somehow full of sand you didn\u2019t pack? That\u2019s the Minnesota Timberwolves right now. After a quick preseason getaway to sunny San Diego, the Wolves are back in their natural habitat, Target Center, ready to trade palm trees for pine trees.<\/p>\n
This is the first time the Wolves have taken the floor at Target Center since Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals, when OKC\u2019s notched a 2-point victory and built an insurmountable 3-1 series lead. The building\u2019s been waiting for a reset button ever since. The Wolves will get their chance to right the ship against the Indiana Pacers, the defending Eastern Conference champs and, weirdly, one of the most likeable rosters in basketball. They\u2019re well-coached, clever, deep, and play like they all went to the same basketball summer camp. If you\u2019re thinking \u201cthis sounds like a team that could annoy Minnesota for 48 minutes,\u201d congratulations, you\u2019ve watched the Pacers before.<\/p>\n
How to Catch Wolves-Pacers<\/p>\n
Last week\u2019s San Diego game wasn\u2019t televised, which meant the only way to \u201cwatch\u201d it was to follow beat writers\u2019 tweets and hope they remembered punctuation. This time, we\u2019re back in business. FanDuel Sports Network North has the call, with Michael Grady and Jim Petersen in the booth, easily one of the best commentary duos in the NBA.<\/p>\n
As a nod to the Canis Hoopus faithful, FanDuel\u2019s offering us a 30-day free trial, which means you can basically mainline Wolves basketball until your dopamine receptors give out.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re old-school, KFAN FM will have the radio call. And for the podcast generation: yes, you can stream it through the Wolves app or iHeart Radio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Timberwolves Are Back at Target Center You know that feeling when you come home from vacation: still…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":325538,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3774],"tags":[7,113,126,3866,6,114,1369],"class_list":{"0":"post-325537","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indiana-pacers","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-indiana","10":"tag-indiana-pacers","11":"tag-indianapacers","12":"tag-nba","13":"tag-pacers","14":"tag-timberwolves-game-previews"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115329934628477075","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=325537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325537\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=325537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=325537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=325537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
