For once, the Timberwolves are feeling what it's like to be on a win streak.
They picked up their fourth consecutive win 126-114 over Golden State with Anthony Edwards leading a fourth-quarter charge with 18 of his 25 points coming then.
Edwards said the locker room is a much happier place these days.
"Shorter talks in the locker room after the game, you know what I'm saying? More camaraderie within the team," Edwards said. "Everybody is talking to everybody, laughing, playing music, and we're just excited.
"Winning feels great. If you don't feel great after a win, then I don't know what it takes."
There are a lot of good vibes around the Wolves right now, something that was in short supply earlier in the season when the Wolves went through injuries to key players and suffered both frequent blowouts and excruciating losses. After the game, Karl-Anthony Towns was asked if he thought the presence of fans (the Wolves are 6-0 with fans in Target Center) was helping give the Wolves a boost. He said they're just playing better.
"Not to dismiss them, but it's not our fans, I think it's just us having that connection," Towns said. "We're hitting on cylinders right now that we weren't hitting on earlier. The execution is there. I think the biggest difference with us from before is the physicality we play with."
Towns leads the way when it comes to physicality, as he again withstood a lot of pressure inside to post 22 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists.
