The Wolves need to come out and maintain the pressure, don't give Denver even the slightest hope.

The defense in that first half is some of the best I have ever seen. That is beyond championship-level defense. That was all-time great defense, at least when it comes to the last 25 years of basketball I have watched. Unbelievable stuff.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

You could sit high school and college teams (and coaches,) in front of a recording of that half, and they would learn more about defense in 24 minutes than some learn in years.

Both KAT’s fouls were the dumb variety.
But he only has two!

Sounds like taking care of business to me.

Got to keep pressuring. Got a lot of time off after this one.
Cmon Jaden. Use your head.

Is there anybody still denying that Kyle is having a great game?

Yeah Denver NEVER should’ve said the wolves were their toughest matchup publicly. If this stays the course, can’t wait to hear the nugget apologists.

If KAT could ever stop those little reach fouls he'd be so much better off. The sad thing is those fouls rarely even affect the player he's guarding.

We've taken 53 shots they've taken 52. We're shooting 55% and 40% from 3. They're shooting 31% and 25% from 3.

Denver has scored 4 in a row. Nip it in the bud.

This might be crazy to say but I think we're playing better without Rudy.
