Wolves in five? Buxton for MVP? Messi here? Vikings in Ireland and London in 2025?
Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wolves' 117-93 win over Golden State in Game 2 on Thursday. They could afford to cruise a little in that win because of Steph Curry's absence.

Plus the Twins won their fifth in a row, with Byron Buxton continuing to play at an elite level.
