Are the Twolves going to bounce back to win this game and tie for 1st place in the standings? NOP on a B2B vs DEN so there is a good chance.

Zion is not playing tonight but we are off to an awful start

Not sure who played last night by the look of this first quarter.

Yes. It’s hard to sustain that defensive intensity over a long season but this is flat out bad defense. We had some three point shooting luck (percentage against) early. That appears to be evening out.

Just when I'm starting to believe we have a contender we get blown out by Phoenix and now we're progressively falling further and further behind the Pelicans without Zion. This is pathetic.

15 point deficit. We are going to have to make a huge turnaround just to get this game close. Pathetic.

The worst first since the Toronto game. Hopefully we wake up....

Anthony Edwards' inability to make the simple swing pass before dribbling is a killer for the offense, at times.
Good to see Minnesota's offense starting to click again. Hopefully the defensive intensity improves.

It seems like anytime Gobert goes out, the defense drops to zero. Hopefully we will be within 8 pt by half time.

8-0 run gets us back within 7. Feeling a little better.

What is JMcD doing? They need to practice play D with hands tie to the back

How is that a foul on Towns, I can't see any contact on Ingram.

McDaniels is an amazing player, he hustles hard at both ends and he's a shooter and he's athletic, so 3 huge qualities.
Pelicans have the best commentators, one of them has the deepest voice in the NBA, and the other has the highest, perfect combination.

The defense is starting to be a concern, hopefully its just some slump but I hope they don't fall off like this and it become the new norm. If so we are in trouble.
