Lot of time left, but we have really taken care of business this 3rd quarter. 27-12 as I type this with just under 3 minutes remaining.

Take care of business in the 4th quarter and get a 3 game lead on OKC and the tiebreaker for now. Also a 2.5 game lead on Denver. Huge win if we can bring it home.

Rudy having what might be his worst offensive game of the season.

Wolves with 7 points in 8:15 of the fourth quarter. 9 point lead down to 2, but just win baby and I won't care.

Anthony Edwards has a WIDE open three-point shot, instead pump-fakes, drives, and turns it over.

Just so frustrating.

Holmgren out play him tonight. He seems to be everywhere on defense.

Imagine if they could just not turn the ball over every possession how good they would be.

Gobert's rebounding has helped keep the Wolves in the game though

Shouldn't run pick and roll for Ant/Gobert with Holmgren on Gobert. There is no advantage with the switch. Holmgren is so good with the help blocks.

This feels like a game where you stick with Jordan McLaughlin or Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

This will go in the books as an Oh what could have been game right up there with the OT loss to Boston. Ant Bricking FTs with the game on the line hurts.
