Enough Said: Wolves and Wild return home, Vikings add players and Minnesota’s governor race

Wolves beat Spurs in Game 3
By the numbers:
Anthony Edwards returned to the starting lineup for the first time since suffering a hyperextension and bone bruise on April 26, 2026, against the Denver Nuggets, but it didn't deter a rocky start for the Wolves — starting the game down 18-3, shooting 2-of-16, before going on a 9-0 run and eventually tightening the score to 23-22 by the end of the first quarter.
The Wolves then took a 31-27 lead halfway through a second quarter that would go back-and-forth before settling in a 51-51 tie at halftime.
In the third, the Wolves began to find themselves trailing, behind the Spurs 79-86 heading into the fourth, when the Spurs continued to give them trouble and eventually pulled away.
