For some reason, I am feeling a dominating performance coming from Minnesota tonight...

Seems like a highly winnable game, if Thibs can’t get his players to get under KAT’s skin.

as long as there's no Mcbride, Grimes or some bench guys that will play like an all star.

Mitch Robinson gives us fits. He will be the guy to beat us if we let him. His size is usually too much for us.

How many assists would Nowell have if people hit open shots. His passing is spot on tonight.

Ant is 1-6 on 3s and the bench have combined to go 0-7 on mostly wide open shots. If the Wolves were even shooting poorly on 3s this game wouldn't be close.

For the Wolves the defense is good, the ball movement is good, the shots they are getting are good, it's frustrating that terrible 3-point shooting is holding the team back.

Is KAT injured or what? Or Finch giving him more rest because there is a B2B tomorrow?

DLO & Ant need to stay out of foul trouble, but everyone seems to have come to play today.

If we can contain the Knicks from 3, we should be able to win this one

It's amazing how bad the Prince/McDaniels forward combination is at rebounding. The trade deadline will be a massive success if the Wolves can turn Prince into a competent power forward.

Yep. Fortunately Robinson and Barrett have 3 fouls each too.

27 huge points from our bench. 13 bench points for NY.
