Handing the ball over to Atlanta carelessly and poor transition defense finding a body to matchup leaving Thabo wide open

Re: General NBA Discussion Thread
Did the Raptors ever look to make backdoor cuts when they were pressured heavily against Miami?
This looks similar, Wolves aren't looking to punish the aggressive pressure/ball denials.

Re: General NBA Discussion Thread
On an unrelated note Bud may be one of the best special situation coach. Already picked up 2 BLOBs from him in the Q2.

Re: General NBA Discussion Thread
What a choke by the Wolves. If they lose....
Wiggins need to close this game. He chokes in too many situations like this.

Re: General NBA Discussion Thread
Even if this game would become a close one, it happened way too fast for a 34 point lead.
Damn Milsap.

Forgot to say this earlier but much like the Warriors, the Hawks do an excellent job of using Korver as a screener to spring their bigs open for jumpers (Horford 3 earlier).

Re: General NBA Discussion Thread
Wiggins! Boss. Just blew by Bazemore.
His teammate clanked it, but Wiggins followed it with another great drive away from his man and setup his teammate for a jumper.
