Stephen Colbert just showing CBS/Paramount what a huge mistake they’re making (ratings and $ wise). Had Lin-Manuel Miranda and Weird Al playing Coldplay to an audience of: Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, Jon Stewart, Adam Sandler and more…

Anthony Edwards took the opportunity to give huge props to Jaden McDaniels: I do want to just shout out Jaden McDaniels before I get outta here. He’s been phenomenal this whole playoff run and this series in particular. I think he’s like a +51 or something and only probably had 5 points, took 3 shots, in all 2 games. Don’t complain, keep guarding, keep picking up full court, and we wouldn’t be the team that we are today and the team that we was in the regular season…and hopefully we can keep him out there and he keeps playing like that man, because he’s the X-Factor of the team and everything he brings, we thank him so much.

Anthony Edwards on what they need to get over the hump: We just need everything to be clicking at the right time. I think missing Donte is big for us, man, like he spreads the floor like no other. A series like this, where they just double teaming, like I would love to have Donte in my slot and just throwing it to him the entire time and shoot 20 threes.

Mike Conley’s face just lit up when he was asked what KAT and Ant have taught him: The joy of this game. Having fun. You play 17 years you can go into this cycle…and they brought that excitement back. Like I’m a 15 year-old going to play out in the park or something. They’re keeping me young, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. #Timberwolves

How will you remember this trip to Minneapolis? Steve Kerr: It was pretty crazy to be here for 4 straight days during all of these events. To witness everything firsthand, it was meaningful, very sad. I’m glad we were here, I’m glad we were able to see the people here in Minneapolis and try to help them forget by playing a couple basketball games, but it’s obviously gonna take a lot more than that. It’s a very resilient city, it’s a very tough situation, it’s sad. It’s sad being here. Last night was a really somber atmosphere, I thought tonight was better, it felt like fans were more into it, more enjoyable as far as taking in the game. Definitely a tough few days. #Timberwolves #Warriors

Niko Medved on the fans: I just refuse, and I have since I got here, I refuse to say that we can’t build this thing back. College basketball matters in the Twin Cities, it really does, it’s our job to make it matter. It’s games like this that start to get that going again. I love having the students rush the court, it’s supposed to be fun. You want them to come to the game and enjoy being there, rush the court, see us win. They go home and they had a blast, well you know what, they’re probably going to show up Friday too…and they’re probably going to bring their friends, I hope they do. I really appreciated the crowd so much. #Gophers

Charles Barkley if he was Jason Kidd: I’m going to show them the weather in Minnesota this snow and say - you all don’t want to go back to this. It’s snowing in Minnesota… Which makes me wonder if Chuck made it outside, or just stayed inside restaurants. It’s been 50- 80 degrees when he’s been here!

Steve Kerr: Obviously we are the visitors here, we are the observers, this is not our city, but we know all those guys on the Timberwolves and to talk to them, talk to Chris Finch, and to hear what they’re feeling, what their families are feeling and to see literally up close, the people in the streets…the tragedy, knowing it right down the street from us, it was almost surreal. It was a really bizarre few days. We have a lot of empathy for the people here. We’re really hopeful that the protests here and nationwide will lead to a much better solution for immigration. It’s not like rooting out violent criminals, they’re taking 5 year old kindergartens and US Citizens and detaining people. Immigration is a problem that needs to be addressed, but it needs to be addressed by congress, legislatively. Not by military force in the streets, pulling people from their homes. #Timberwolves #Warriors

Dawn Plitzuweit on Lindsay Whalen: Lindsay is someone who I watched play a lot and certainly have just a tremendous amount of respect and so when she was coaching at Minnesota and I was coaching at South Dakota, we would sit together during recruiting periods and talk quite a bit and compete against each other in some closed scrimmage type of things. I just think she's someone who I have a lot of respect for, someone who I consider a friend. Someone who has built this program and did it as a player and certainly has done it as a coach and certainly we're very thankful for what she's done. We have her in the house today. I think she was here -- she was telling me she was coming, so I think that she was here. Was she here? So that's really, really important to us. #Gophers

Even if you don’t care about people. If you voted strictly for financial benefits…let’s take a look at what’s going on… - Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill allocated $170 BILLION additional taxpayer dollars to ICE - Undocumented people pay $98 BILLION to the government in taxes…while not getting to use most government services All of this is being spent to deport the person who makes your food, delivers your produce, installs your new roof, farms your food, provides daycare for your children…because 70-75% of these immigrants have no criminal record. So look for costs to continue soaring as no one is filling those jobs. Meanwhile, our costs are up vs. just one year ago: - Groceries: 85% - Utilities: 78% - Healthcare: 67% - Housing: 66% - Gasoline: 54% If you live in Minnesota, The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Friday announced that the agency suspended federal financial awards to Minnesota and Minneapolis "effective immediately." Not to mention all the mutual aid many of us have been spending…helping others with medical bills, GoFundMe’s, and now donating to those who are terrified to leave their homes to just be productive human beings, contribute to society and work (to go to school). $100K is now officially lower middle class. We cannot afford to live like this.

Jaden McDaniels on where tonight’s crowd ranks: It's the best for sure. Even if on dry spells throughout the game, they still loud talking. Even if we're not scoring, we locking up on defense. They get loud. So, I mean, it's just a great fan base to have. TJ Shannon: They are the six man. They six man deep. They everything for us. We feed off their energy. They feed off of us, and they've been great. #Timberwolves
