Can we talk about Ant's defense? He's really taking it to another level this year, I love the way he is seeing things ahead of time and defending the rim.

Also, Jaden with the rim attacks in the first half was impressive. More of this please.

Capela/Okongwu 26 pts and 24 rebounds (14 offensive) on 12/14 shooting. Gross.

None of their secondary scorers could make a shot tonight and their defense was awful in the first half.
But at least we took advantage of a struggling team.

Ant is doing great as an on ball defender. I would go so far to say he is one of the best. He also takes D personally and very willing to guard the other team's best player. I see him talk it out with team mates on miss switch assignments. The next step is playing smarter and better in the team concept, don't over commit or over help. Be consistent and don't take plays off (I think that happens a lot less lately).

What are the odds? Wolves fans weren’t watching playoff basketball nine months ago, but they kept busy.
