Be interesting to see how Minnesota responds from recent games.. should get one of the games upcoming against them.

Hopefully Ant Edwards doesn't go off too much, and Naz Reid doesn't play like prime Rasheed.

Down 6 at the half. I don't have a feeling about this one, but the Clippers have played pretty aimlessly but are still in it while the Wolves are leading in every category. Harden as usual leads the scoring.

_______________
ADD: Clips knot it up at 57.

Batum and KPJ stepping up pretty big-time

Would be fun to see a competitive dynamic start to develop between KPJ and Ant'..

Harden with a 4-point play to take the lead 90-87!

Totally out of sync but so are they. KPJ all over the court and the scoresheet--17 pts, 7 reb, 3 asst, 3 steals 4 TOs.

Damn. Not with a bang but a whimper.

Couple of very costly bad TOs at the end.... smh

terrible way to end the game- they were fighting, but made some costly mistakes and couldn't make a shot.

I wonder how long KPJ will be out. If Norm can't return soon, they will be really short-handed

That one hurt. Tough game that was winnable. Really missing Norm at this point.

I've seen too many TOs and flat out not getting a shot up in the 213 era during the final play. It's getting old that the team can't just play without committing 15+ TOs a game. Not sure Ty is the coach to fix this but we've got him for 6 more years :banghead:

He's not responsible for Dunn' turnover in the last 24 second with no pressure from Wolves though or Amir trying to chicken dribble(navigate) between Wolves wingspan defenders instead of holding the ball properly.

Love them but Coffey and Dunn are not great at all on self creation yet still going at it(has to). Normally it would be Norman and Kawhi supposed to play in those moments but that's another story. Bench players got us all here at the beginning so here we lose with them.

I'm always first up to defend Ty but the whole world was waiting for The Foul That Never Came.

Weird game with an awful ending. Had to foul at the end. Not sure what Lue and the team was thinking. Nothing from Dunn, Bamba, and Mann. Bamba is not a stretch 5 at all. Had about 4-5 breakaway fast breaks that resulted in 0 points. Not sure why we didn't feed Zu more who was playing aggressive against Gobert. Harden was good and KPJ was balling until turning his ankle. I take it he'll be out for tomorrow's game against Denver. That's going to hurt. Not much from Miller. He's got to know when to foul hunt or simply pull up for a jumper. Should've closed out with Coffey as usual over Dunn. Very winnable game though. Need Norm back badly.
