- Jaden McDaniels steps up on offense in a game KAT + Ant didn't have it going (3:00)
- Conley-Gobert two-man game shows it can be another offensive lever to pull (12:00)
- The overall suffocating nature of the Wolves' defense (23:00)
- KAT playing a different role in this series than we've ever seen him play (40:00)
- Not as much from the Wolves bench in Game 2 + why they probably will need more bench offense in Phoenix (57:00)

On today's show, Dane is joined by Britt Robson from MinnPost to discuss Britt's most-recent column on what the Wolves learned this season, and to discuss how those points of growth can help them against Phoenix in the first round. Specific topics and timestamps below...
- How Rudy Gobert effectively altered and reconciled his career-long habits to fit this Wolves team this season, and why that needs to continue against Phoenix (5:00)
- Anthony Edwards' leap this season was, in part, due to upgrading some of the subtle but damaging flaws in his game, and can he sustain that against Phoenix? (25:00)
- How Chris Finch wrung optimal value out of an overcrowded frontcourt this season, and the need for that frontcourt remaining a weapon against Phoenix (45:00)
- How the Wolves relied on Mike Conley at 36 years old this season, and why they might need even more from him against Phoenix (55:00)
