The Wolves have advanced to the second round of the playoffs for the first time in twenty years, and excitement is buzzing through the air. Local artist Adam Johnson has captured this enthusiasm with his paintings, including a beloved piece of Naz Reid that was even approved by Reid himself.

This past Saturday, Wolves fever was on full display at Colorwheel Gallery in Minneapolis as Johnson dropped off free Reid posters for fans. Sarah Hargadon from Minnetonka expressed her excitement for the team, highlighting their great chemistry and her anticipation for the upcoming games. The optimism around the Wolves isn’t limited to just them though – the Minnesota Twins have won twelve games in a row and the Vikings recently drafted Michigan star quarterback J.J. McCarthy.

Fans in Minnesota are feeling good about their local sports teams and are hopeful for a strong postseason run by the Wolves. Despite two decades of limited success, they remain optimistic that this year will be different. Charlie Wenner from Eden Prairie noted that despite past disappointments, he’s excited about what’s to come and believes it’s an exciting time to follow local sports in Minnesota. High hopes are being pinned on the Wolves to continue their success in the playoffs.

Fans like Hargadon and Wenner are confident in the team’s abilities and are eagerly anticipating their matchup against Denver in the next round. The optimism is infectious, with some fans even predicting a sweep against Denver due to the talent on the Wolves roster, including star player Anthony Edwards. The energy surrounding both teams is electric, with fans eagerly awaiting their next game or matchup.
