If there's a Gordie Howe Hat Trick (goal, assist, fight) in the NHL, can we have an Anthony Edwards triple in the NBA? (Points, rebounds, technical foul)?

Anyone surprised that Finch is playing 9 guys and one of them is Trey Lyles has not been watching the Wolves for the last 5 years. Finchy is a trust guy, and Trey is one of the guys he trusts.

Ant hit that three to put the Wolves up 78-61 and it seemed like Minnesota thought that somehow the game was over. Sloppy since then, Heat on a 9-0 run, Chris Finch not happy.

Kind of hilarious that Gobert did an in-game interview where he was asked about how this new Wolves offense will help him shine and then he had 0 points on 0 shots in 15 minutes

Great having the @HockeytownRD guys on Daily Delivery to talk about five months of the Dylan Larkin trade saga, whether a trade is imminent and how likely it still is that he ends up with the Minnesota Wild. Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=zPoC0oHs…

The Timberwolves tip things off for real in a little over 24 hours. I welcomed @JackBorman onto Daily Delivery for a season preview of sorts. What do we like and what are we skeptical of as this new Wolves team gets ready to play? youtube.com/watch?v=ojcK-vD6…

Danila Yurov is playing like someone the Wild could package for Dylan Larkin. He's also playing well enough that maybe they shouldn't trade him at all. But what if getting Larkin is the key to a Quinn Hughes extension? startribune.com/minnesota-wi…

The Vikings are back from their bye week, as one of the NFL’s last three unbeaten teams, and indications are they intend to be active before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. If they find the right partner, they could look to bolster their roster for a possible playoff run.

I wrote about the 2016 Vikings, who were 5-0 at the bye week before losing eight of their next 10 games. What are the similarities (and more importantly the differences) between that team and the 2026 version of the Vikings? startribune.com/minnesota-vi…

Wolves at Knicks tonight. Yeah, it's just the preseason but this one could have some juice. Only Target Center game is Wednesday, then presumably they rest their starters Friday. Regular season starts next week. What do you want to see from the Wolves tonight?

I've had a night to sleep on it, and I'm still not sure what KOC was thinking with that fourth-quarter trick play that somehow didn't cost the Vikings on Sunday. @Patrick_Reusse and I talked about it at the start of Daily Delivery. Full show: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Clip:

How many of Reichard's field goals this would be good if the uprights were only 6 feet apart? Like, it's not just the big leg. It's right down the middle

A trick play that involves two guys throwing backwards passes over half the width of the field is not my idea of a good time when you're protecting a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter

That's a big time drive and a big time run
