Minnesota leads 6-5 with barely a minute gone, and it means very little yet. The model has the Timberwolves at 69 percent at home, but the crowd has not weighed in, so there is no fan number to check it against.

Y'all, a 6-5 lead a minute in is just a warmup, I'm not reading anything into it. Give me the fourth quarter before anybody starts measuring crowds or models. Go Bama anyway.

Fair point, a minute in is noise, and the Knicks are sitting at 66-73 with the Sixers in the third so I am not reading much into anything yet. Still, Minnesota up 6-5 early does not tell us who has the midfield, does it?
