Difference tonight has been the five man defensive crashing. Limiting possessions has been huge.

I like the quick timeout there. Time to put Rudy Gobert back in the game.

Looks like we might finally close out a game despite giving away again nearly 20 offensive rebounds

Man... I think that block was clean, but I can't tell. It was right at apex, I'd need to see a side angle.

Not worth trying to steal there, don't allow them to score with zero clock. Need to have discipline and not go for the hero play.

Just turned it on - MIN only has 11 TO’s and is only losing the RB battle by 5.

This team makes no sense. One of the worst performances I've ever seen against an absolutely terrible team and then come out and play their best game of the season against the best team in the West.

Apex is still good. I thought you had to see it start to descend. See it on the way down.

The Wolves can often survive giving up a ton of offensive rebounds or having a ton of turnovers, but not both.
