On Thursday evening, the Minnesota Timberwolves hosted the Denver Nuggets at the Target Center for Game 6 of their second-round playoff series.
With their season on the line, the Timberwolves showed up and won by a score of 115-70.
Game 7 will now be on Sunday in Denver.
After the big win, Lil Wayne (via FS1’s Undisputed) made a bold statement about the Timberwolves.
Wayne: “I saw a T-Wolves team that can win the championship.”
Paul Pierce then asked: “So you got them winning Game 7 in Denver?”
Wayne: “I got Minnesota winning Game 7.”
“I see a Wolves team that can win Game 7 and the championship.”

The Timberwolves were led by All-Star guard Anthony Edwards, who finished with 27 points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals while shooting 8/17 from the field and 4/9 from the three-point range in 34 minutes of playing time.
They also shot 46.5% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point range (as a team).
Meanwhile, the Nuggets shot just 30.2% from the field.
Whoever wins the series will advance to the Western Conference Finals and face off against either the Oklahoma City Thunder or the Dallas Mavericks.
The Mavs lead the Thunder 3-2 with Game 6 on Saturday evening in Dallas, Texas.

The Nuggets are coming off a season where they won the NBA Championship over Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat (they also beat the Timberwolves in the first round).
However, the Timberwolves are a much better team this year, because Edwards has blossomed into arguably one of the ten best players in the league.

Gas prices surge, impacting Northeast Ohio delivery drivers and small businesses
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Gas prices continue to soar, hitting drivers’ wallets hard. Delivery drivers who rely on their cars for work face added expenses.
Kevin Tran hops on his bike every day to make money through DoorDash. He empathizes with his fellow food delivery workers who are paying surging gas prices.
“It’s a strain not only on their cars and mileage but just their everyday expenses,” Tran said. “They won’t get paid until they use up their own money to spend for gas.”
He has not owned a car in close to a decade because of how expensive it can be.
“The last time I remember paying for gas it was probably the better part of $2 and even then for myself that seemed like an expense that I wasn’t willing to pay for,” Tran said.
According to AAA, Monday’s national average for a gallon of gas was $3.95. That is 24 cents higher than last week and $1.02 higher than last month.
A 19 News crew found a gallon was $3.99 at a gas station in Cleveland off West 150th Street.
“You see it’s $60, so it is what it is and at this point I guess you have to do what you got to do,” one driver said.
For small businesses like A Slice Above in Strongsville, they rely on their delivery drivers to help serve customers.
Higher prices at the pump can potentially impact the bottom line.
“Delivering for the drivers that’s some thing I’ll probably have to add a little bit later but also my vendors who deliver to me will start charging me more for deliveries,” Don Bersacola, the shop’s owner, said. “That happened 10, 15 years ago. They added a delivery fee to my produce, my meats so when they deliver they’re going to start charging me more so then I have to eventually but I don’t like to do that because consumers are hurting right now so you can’t just pass everything on to them.”
Despite the rising costs for fuel, he plans to keep his prices steady.
“I’ve been here 33 years so I’ve been through a lot so I can hold on for quite some time, I think,” Bersacola said. “Some of the smaller, newer ones maybe not so but I’m pretty confident.”
For drivers, there is no end in sight for when gas prices might drop back down.
