Jarred Vanderbilt played 14 minutes against the Knicks, his seventh game since returning from a left heel injury on Dec. 2nd. He told reporters he is still working through the injury but wanted to push to come back “because we have a chance … I consider us being a contender.” pic.twitter.com/ebEfNMxjQP – 3:25 AM

Austin Reaves on the banner ceremony: “Yeah, I mean, it’s the first one, and it was cool. It was cool to be a part of winning that and that whole deal. But now that’s over, and we got to focus on the season and try to hang another one up at the end of the year.” – 2:17 AM

The Timberwolves entered tonight with a 101.7 DRtg in second halves.
The second-place Lakers are at 107.6. The gap between the Wolves and No. 2 is the same as the gap between No. 2 and No. 13 (Clippers, 113.5).
They allowed only 42 points to Miami in the second half tonight. – 10:25 PM

Josh Hart on Saturday’s 2-tech ejection: “I just thought it was a terrible call. That’s really about it. Honestly, I didn’t think he heard me on my second one. I was kinda trying to walk away, had my back turned, and I didn’t think he heard what I said. But it’s all good.” – 9:46 PM
