From a blowout season-opening win over the Houston Rockets in October to Patrick Beverley and Anthony Edwards jumping on the scorer’s table after a thrilling play-in victory, to Karl-Anthony Towns postering Jaren Jackson Jr. in the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs, and everything in between, this Minnesota Timberwolves season was one to remember.

Nearly every member of our Canis Hoopus team answered that this one was their favorite since then-NBA MVP Kevin Garnett led magical 2004 run to the Western Conference Finals.

This year’s Wolves played an exciting brand of basketball that created plenty of highlights, thunderous roars from the crowd at Target Center, and most importantly, a real feeling of hope that this fan base has been devoid of since Garnett was traded to the Boston Celtics all the way back in 2007.

The level of gratitude shared among fans — for...

• Chris Finch’s genuineness and player empowerment
• Edwards’ charisma and foundational talent
• Towns’ relentless play, evident improvement on both ends of the floor, and 3-point contest title
• Patrick Beverley’s crowd-rallying plays and trash talking
• D’Angelo Russell’s clutch buckets and calming influence, culminating with a play-in masterpiece
• Jaden McDaniels’ incredible two-way flashes and shooting leap
• Jarred Vanderbilt’s endless, inspirational, and identity-building effort on a nightly basis
• Malik Beasley’s back-breaking 3s and transition dunks
• Taurean Prince’s 3s and defensive versatility
• Naz Reid’s spin moves and poster dunks
• Jordan McLaughlin’s table-setting and timely plays on both ends
• Jaylen Nowell’s isolation bucket-giving exhibitions
• Micah Nori’s legendary halftime TV hits
• Dave Benz’s Ant facts
• Jim Pete’s Inside the Play with Window Concepts segments
• Rebekkah Brunson’s video board breakdowns

...and everything else this team brought them — is still palpable and will be for a long, long time.
