I'm so happy we won. Amazing they almost beat us without Edwards and Rudy but a win is a win with The Wolves losing. Now let's get back to losing!

John Collins a winner.

Clutch assist to Kessler to get the lead. Then the vertical jump to get the stop.

He’s a good soldier to have once we decide to start winning.

Super fun game, Collier is a dawg

Suck it Wolves bitches!!!! You are now only three games above .500. It will make your pick sweet.

Jazz survived 20 turnovers.

I love cheering for and getting a W. It's been a long time.

This win is going to make getting an L on Sunday that much more important.

Very excited to watch Collier's development over the next few years. Love his speed, timing, and court vision. The turnovers are a problem but should improve with experience.

I will be very interested in the development of all our rookies and 2nd year players the rest of the season and over the summer.

I really like KJ

Don't know if I've seen (in several years) a Jazz PG completely control a game like Collier did during the first 7 minutes of the 3rd quarter.

Thought for a while that Hardy made the all-time tank substitution when he took out Collier and Kessler after that point in the 3rd, but Jazz managed to eke it out anyway.

I think we were definitely in it to win it, even Hardy due to the draft implications. The players seemed pretty stoked when they got it done.

Just watch the replay too busy with real life. Great deserved win, we make lots of mistakes but fight all night long. Collins was huge and Collier may have a Stockton career... Minny is a lottery team without Rudy and ANT.

Yes 17 steals for the wolves is a shocking stat. Jazz overcame it by outrebounding them by 20. I love how the Jazz pushed the ball. They are fast and athletic. Collier is great but he still needs to cut down on his turnovers. He has improved a lot. I don't want to trade Sexton. He is a dog and can take over JC's role being the sparkplug off the bench. Flip had his offensive moments but he needs to really improve his defense. He was left standing alone losing his guy several times. The Jazz have plenty of offense but right now their halfcourt defense is bad, second to their poor defense getting back. Jazz will have some tough decision to make in the next couple of years if their rookies continue to improve. Just a note here but if you watched this game you can see how important Rudy is to the T-wolves defense. Jazz were dunking and driving to the basket any time they wanted to do so.

We may not get Cooper Flagg but at least we'll have the memories of John Collins
