The Prince for Russell and starters lineup looks like it could be something, hoping to see more of it going forward.

Rudy Gobert was WIDE open on that fast-break and then even MORE wide open on the Anthony Edwards drive.

Chris Finch just hard benched Jaylen Nowell. Well deserved.

Man with the hole this team dug themselves and all the injuries, the chance to get back to .500 is a nice sight to see. Doesn't hurt the West has been absolutely dreadful over the last week. They've really been making up ground.

all things considered, this was a great win after being down by 20 points. SloMo and Jaden were the MVPs of the game..Jaden almost had an excellent allround game bar those FT misses in the end. SloMo's bball IQ is so much better than most of the other players on the team..really helps in calming the things down, makes the right decision most of the time

This team needs to find an upgrade to Nowell. Shooting under 30% on 3s while killing the defense has earned him a spot on the bench.

Wolves are tied for 8th place after tonight and 1 win from 5th and 6th place.

This team looked dead in the water after the Pistons game but that player's only meeting was a blessing in disguise.

I've been behind Nowell since day 1. This was his year to step up and he's blowing it. He did deserve that benching.

As a Naz holder in fantasy why were his minutes so low today? Just no more left with KA and Prince back, or was it injury-related?

Last game he tweaked his back after missing a couple games, and yeah I'm sure prince, slomo and gobert playing well ate up those minutes also. To my knowledge Naz and gobert didn't see any minutes together tonight.

That is quite shocking. The west has really been performing terribly lately, no way should we be in sniffing distance of the 5th seed with how we collapsed in the last few weeks. We are incredibly fortunate.
