impressive half, very methodical
sometimes they'll blow a team out with energy/intensity
but really just making the right plays, getting matched up defensively, pretty good ball movement

like that Jaden is going at DDR offensively, don't let these scorers only play half the game

Anthony Edwards missed Towns wide open on that drive that got swatted. Gotta make that read.

Remember what I saying a game or two ago about Towns and Edwards never seem to get any type of two-man game or chemistry together? Tonight they are doing it in spades so far. Wow!

ANT makes these plays that like 3 guys in the league can do

this is classic Towns game being matched up with Drummond most of the time, being defended by someone who has no ability to play on perimeter or in space

Dome there will be good plays and bad. I think he did OK that first half.

He's only 22 and didn't grow up playing basketball at a young age like most kids. Most of his greatness right now is off of his pure athleticism.

Rudy invisible that first half. At least on offense.

I guess this is why no teams have tried to switch it up and go big against us. It just makes things worse lol.

I complimented a good pass by Anthony Edwards earlier this game and have spoken positively about both Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards' performance. I am going to post about it when a player misses a simple read.

Getting the "Dirty Dancing" Soundtrack at halftime.
Actually a whole presentation of Dirty Dancing.

If I had to summarize the first half. Mess with the bull, eat the bull.

We didn't get the horns that's for sure.
