The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Frost are both one game away from advancing in their respective playoffs.  

The Timberwolves lagged behind the Golden State Warriors in the first half of Monday night's game, but at the halftime buzzer, Anthony Edwards scored a deep three and shrunk the Warriors' lead. The team went on to win the game 117-110. 

Similarly, the Frost won their most recent game 7-5 against the Toronto Sceptres. It was the highest-scoring game in Professional Women’s Hockey League history. If they win the Wednesday night home game against Toronto, they’ll go on to the finals. 

Minnesota Now sports contributors Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson joined the show to talk about the outlook for the Timberwolves, Frost and Twins. 

Wally Langfellow is the founder of Minnesota Score Sports Magazine and co-host of the sports talk show 10,000 Takes. Eric Nelson is the other host of that show and Minnesota Vikings NFL reporter for CBS' Eye on Football and Sirius XM.
