McDaniels comes back in after down 12 and less than two minutes. The loss is safe guys, send Jaden in.

Should be Jmac/Beasley/McDaniels/Reid/Towns trying to save this. Reid works inside, McDaniels roams, Towns shoots from outside with Beasley and JMac orchestrates all. Could have erased that deficit.

I get Beaz is being asked to play beyond his ceiling right now, but dude could also pass a tiny bit more.

I thought Wolves looked better with KAT back. Just need a better PG now, Rubio and DLo ain’t gonna cut it.

Russell has a chance to really turn it off if he can shoot. If he's shooting well and we got Towns and Beasley out there, teams can't guard all three at an elite level. He could eat well if he can bring his jump shot. Going to take some time for those three to adjust to playing together, they have only played I believe 6 games together as a unit.

Down 9-10, should have been all threes attempted. Give yourself a chance even if they all suck shooting.

I didn't know they had played over 4 as a unit yet. Dlo taking tonight off is a pisser.

Kawhi and Lou played about as well as they can, they made superstar shots all night. Combine that with the Clippers shooting 52% on 3s as a team and it wasn't happening tonight

Exactly what I was thinking.

They only warmed up like that because of momentum all swinging their way, self inflicted by Wolves choices.

Benz is impressed but this is the 2nd game in a row that Beasley has sucked but then put up numbers in garbage time.

The Clippers played really well tonight and the Wolves managed to stay competitive. I'm tired of moral victories, but at least it's something.

To his credit, I think defenses are keying on him and shutting him down pretty well. He's not a superstar and can't still get 20 points easily if he's being locked down. We need others to step and spread the defense around some more. Not happening with Rubio and Okogie on the perimeter.

Ryan Saunders loses another game with his horrible 4th quarter rotations smh

Okogie with a team worst -14 on the night and that matched up pretty clearly with how he played on offense. The Wolves are going to lose most games where Josh takes 14 shots.

Yeah man, his good does not outweigh his negative value. Like start McDaniels or something instead. Just embarrassing how disrespected he is out there. Gotta be bad for team motivation on the court when the other team is basically ignoring one of your starters.

Nowell shot 1-7 on lame 2 jumpers.
Okogie shot 3-10 on lame 2 jumpers and fruitless bunnies, 1-4 from 3
Edwards shoots 1-5 from three
Beasley starts game 0-6 from three, hit two when game was over
Towns shooting cold on return, 2-7 from three. He'll get back into these soon.
