The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

by John Wilmes

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

Another game vs Portland in Denver in just two days, which is, of course, another must-win game for the champions.

Not exactly B2B games, but still a game of familiarity. No Jeremy Grant in this one so we should take it, up by 10pts with 8mins to go

It's not a routine win, but a win is a win. While OKC, Wolves, and Clipps keep winning, the Eastern Conference turned in our favor (Bucks struggle, Embiid and Randle are injured) so nobody or only Boston will have better winning record in eventual final.
