Chet got away with a bad travel there. The TO would have been better for OKC than giving up that fastbreak.

That was unintentionally intentional by Reid on that loose ball, surprised they didn't look at that

LeBron seems to have him figured out. Seems he usually dominates him down low. I’m unsure why other big guys struggle, unless LeBron was just used to his tendencies from practice
LeBron seemed to have issues with JJ Barea guarding him while other bigs didn’t. Idk why you need to act like LeBron is special

JDub reminds me of Playoff P. He's pretty smooth looking when he's on

Losing because of offensive rebounding is the worst way to lose.
Just so infuriating.

Chet wasn’t perfectly vertical so I bet that doesn’t get overturned but it also shouldn’t get called in the first place. Minny has the softer whistle this quarter.

Yep. The game is there for the taking. This is where you expect the “superstar” to make his imprint on the game and take over.

OKC has taken 17 more shots. its Wolves' paint defense that's keeping them close.

This has been a good, well played game from both sides. I have nothing else to say

What’s your deal? I said LeBron might know tendencies from practice, not that he has some special ability
