Another game, another loss to the defending NBA champions occured on Sunday. Jokic dominated without even attempting a shot outside of the paint.
Next opponent? The current best in the West, Minnesota Timberwolves. They already have 30 wins and have the best defense in the NBA. The Gobert and Conley trades plus the emergence of Anthony Edwards makes them a formidable threat to reaching the Western Conference Finals for the first time since Kevin Garnett's MVP campaign in 2003-2004. 20 years ago.
The T-Wolves are coming off a loss to the Hornets. A game in which Karl Anthony-Towns scored 62 points on the same night Embiid dropped 70 on the Spurs... which was also the anniversary of Kobe Bryant's 81-point game in 2006. Chris Finch blasted his team as immature for the loss.
It was the first time since your Bullets won the NBA championship in 1978 that two players scored 60+ on the same night.
Another fun fact: Anthony Edwards has never beaten the Bullets. I think that changes.
