00:03 First team out West to reach 30 wins this year, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
00:07 As we said, a big fourth quarter comeback,
00:10 outscoring the Memphis Grizzlies by 20, winning the fourth and final stanza.
00:15 37-17 the margin for a 15 point home victory.
00:19 The T-Wolves win 118-103 over the shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies,
00:24 even covering Donnie because of that fourth quarter surge as a 12.5 point home
00:28 favorite.
00:29 >> Yeah, Memphis just ran out of gas here and
00:31 that's what's supposed to happen when you don't have your superstars there.
00:33 Eventually the cream is gonna rise to the top and
00:36 the Minnesota Timberwolves were that cream, 37 points in the fourth quarter,
00:39 17 for the Memphis Grizzlies.
00:41 But Ben, we talk about this in the Eastern Conference so much.
00:43 You take a look at teams like the Celtics at 20 and 0 and
00:46 how important it is to have home court advantage.
00:48 Cuz the damage you can do in protecting that,
00:51 the Minnesota Timberwolves move to 17 and 2 straight up on their home court.
00:54 That's something you can hang your hat on because nobody wants to go to Denver.
00:58 Nobody wants to have home court advantage against them while they're playing on
01:00 the Phoenix Suns.
01:01 You want it in your own building.
01:03 Every single win is gonna help you get there.
01:05 30 wins on the season for the T-Wolves and again,
01:07 a sensational home record for them.
