This game isn't going to be easy, but to have the lead now after being down 15 early in the second quarter is amazing.

Holmgren is already a really polished shooter at age 21.

I wonder if he watched the Wolves at age 16-18, and thought, “I’m better than half those guys already?”

Encouraging to see Ant making interior pass to Gobert

They have a very good big three of SGA, JW and Chet.

SGA with 10 FTAs and 10 FTMs in the first half so far. That is freaking killer.

Anthony Edwards is fumbling the ball a lot tonight. Only two turnovers, but kinda sloppy with his ball-handling.

I guarantee that people are going to complain after the game, but all of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s drawn fouls were clearly correct calls.

True, but his hand will get hot in the 2nd half and he will lead us to victory.

The refs could make all clearly correct foul calls in every game and the foul totals would triple. Sometimes they're supposed to let things go. They let lots of things done to us go. I think they let less things that happen to OKC players go. I'm probably a biased homer. :lol:

Given 4 of our starters kinda sucked. Should I be thankful we are only down 3?
Conley: 0-6 / 0-5 3s / 3TO
Ant: 2-4 / 2TO
Towns: 3TO / 3 PF
Gobert: 0-2 but feels like he was a lot worse
JMcD: great start, just stay out of foul trouble please.

I agree. I see only one who can be discuss , on Naz if i remember. The others are correct. We have to stop jumping like kangaroo when SGA go inside.

SGA has been killing every team. We did a fairly good job on him until the last 3 mins. You have to double team him in some way. I haven't seen a single player slow him down all year.

Only bad call that really stands out was Chet getting a bail-out call on a fast-break early, but Minnesota has gotten away with a couple physical hits.

Honestly, if Minnesota wasn't a disaster at taking care of the ball, they would be blowing OKC out. The turnovers from the entire squad are just painful.

Huge Challenge here. Jaden is needed for the rest of the game.

Lost the challenge and that could be the difference between victory and defeat.

Don't like trying to shoot through four defenders, there.
