Wolves
Neal: Sweep? This Wolves-Suns series may not get to Game 5
The Timberwolves have proven that being dominated like they were by Phoenix during the regular season means nothing. But don't just assume a sweep, OK?
Vikings
Mark Craig's mock draft: QBs, trades and the Vikings take . . .
This mock draft has offensive players taken with the top seven picks. So if you like defense, you really don't need to show up for the start.
Wolves
Tenacious defense, McDaniels' anger spark Wolves to Game 2 win
Jaden McDaniels shoved Phoenix star Devin Booker during a second-quarter confrontation and then the Wolves pushed around the Suns for the rest of the night for a 105-93 win.
Wild
After Wild miss playoffs, who will stay and who will go?
Strapped by salary cap issues, the Wild might look pretty much the same next season before they get cap relief in 2025-26.
Vikings
Another big Vikings need might not be addressed early in draft
The Vikings haven't had a dominant interior defense lineman in two decades, and they might not get one in the draft this year either because of the team's ultimate need at quarterback.
