Thankfully though, they have been playing well enough that I'm not sure we'll take them lightly.

After starting the season 5-20, they are 15-12 since.

Anderson holding his back. Not great. Sloppy to start of course because we play down to our competition.

Wolves very much playing down to the competition. So many idiotic turnovers to start the game.

Loose with the ball, and bamba nailing threes. Cool.

Anderson looks done for the night and probably longer (based on how much pain he seemed to be feeling in his back).

good to see Nowell finding open shooters instead of just chucking up

The Wolves have to upgrade on Nowell's minutes. He has turned it over once and has been right on the edge of a turnover multiple other times.

Older Wagner is top 2 for sure for the most hated list

I'm not sure the Wolves can rest Ant and DLO at the same time, they need someone to drive the offense.

i am pretty sure Finch would have cut down Nowell's minutes if JMac wasn't injured for this long

I think Finch should have either of Ant or DLo on court all the time...atleast until JMac is fit to play

good pass from Nowell...atleast he isn't having tunnel vision tonight

quite sloppy ball handling

Sloppy Sloppy.

So many really bad turnovers. Turning the ball over 9 times in 16 minutes is just not acceptable.

Jalen Suggs is a very impressive perimeter defender. Man had Jaylen Nowell in jail the whole time they shared the court.

This might be the game the Wolves miss McLaughlin more than almost any other. So many turnovers and nonexistent perimeter containment.

defense hasn't been good this qtr
