What is Ant doing?!?!? Completely uninvolved in the game. Is Randel the actual star on the twolves?

Gobert gets the most unfair blame, Wolves are struggling on offense.

Still Wolves are up 1-) and even if they lose it's a win for them so far in the series

Minny is seeing the same type of zone they saw last playoffs. Edward’s needs to be able to play in tighter spaces and think two steps ahead

So apparently only Julius Randle who remembers this is a playoff game tonight. The rest are no shows.

Luka with the pretty pass. That's some QB passing at the end zone showboating fun.
