Introduction: With so much going on in Minnesota sports, host Michael Rand decided to split Tuesday's content into two episodes:
Double Delivery: Wild thrills, Twins spend, Chris Hine on if there's hope for the Timberwolves
April 18, 2023 at 1:40PM
Episode One: The Wild's 3-2 double overtime win late, late late against Dallas on Monday (technically Tuesday). A team that rebuilt its style to perform better in the postseason was rewarded in a big way in Game 1.
13:00: There are some key faces missing from Vikings workouts this week, including Danielle Hunter and Dalvin Cook. What does that mean for the days leading up to the draft?
17:00: The Twins made a huge investment in Pablo Lopez, and a Minnesota woman finished fifth in the Boston Marathon.
Episode Two: Rand is joined by Star Tribune Timberwolves writer Chris Hine for a look back at Sunday's disappointing 109-80 loss to the Nuggets and a look ahead to Game 2 of the playoff series on Wednesday.
The Wolves clearly need to make some offensive adjustments and figure out their identity if they are going to be competitive, but how possible is that given their physical and structural limitations?
And if this is a short series, what might that foreshadow for the offseason?
