The Minnesota Timberwolves are in the first round of the NBA playoffs and locked into a tough battle with the Los Angeles Lakers. The Wolves won the first game with a score of 117 - 95, and the Lakers tied up the series by winning game two (the score was 85 - 94).

From MPR News: The Lakers muscle past the Timberwolves 94-85 to even 1st-round series

The best-of-seven series continues this weekend. Games three and four are at home for the Timberwolves, and tip-off for Friday night’s tiebreaker is set for 8:30 at Target Center. We have just enough time to create a playlist full of jams to help the team “Bring The Nice” back home!

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs to cheer on the Minnesota Timberwolves would you like to hear?
