Are we trying for 30+ turnovers?

DillonBrooks is an ugly annoying punk though.

Re: The Official Wolves vs Grizzlies Game 5 Thread
We have to very rarely use the KAT drive, Grizzlies have it scouted, it's going to be a charge/foul 50 percent of the time. They are looking for it and baiting it. Got to get him perimeter looks, got to hit open shots when he passes out of a double. They are super keyed in on the drive.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Btw, what do you guys think on the challenge? I am worried we lose because the shoulder was down, but JJJ was moving.
They definitely needed at least a time out, or Kat was going to go berserk and foul out of the game,
Probably worth it since it could swap the foul to JJJ.

Terrible charge call on Kat against JJJ. His 4th.
They just changed the call on the Finch challenge!!

Yes an overturned foul in our favor.

Nice to see that overturned but again the KAt drive is too risky IMO. Grizzlies are doing everything in their power to get KAT to foul them. They will take that charge or flop every time he goes in.

Well that challenge was HUGE. JJJ with 4 fouls, KAT stays on the floor with 3, and the crowd STFU. Ant hitting the 3 didn’t hurt either

I think MEM, particularly Ja and JJJ, are really getting worried about losing this one, and playing tight.

The issue was the lowered shoulder. If KAT kept the shoulder up he would have got the call. Lucky we won that, it had me nervous.

Right, I meant the call that would come out of it.

JJJ tripped over his own guys foot. It wasn't KAT.

For the record, absolutely unreal that was overturned. It’s was because of Jaren Jackson Jr.’s lateral movement, but that felt totally bogus, to me.
