The wait is over: Hawks at Wolves, 7 pm

This was one of weaker games from Finch as a coach...it's baffling that he ran a lineup of Gobert-Naz-SloMo-Jaden-Prince in crunch time of a close game.

If Ant come back Sunday, and he’s close to his regular self. We should be able to win 6 or the last 8.

That lineup went on an 11-0 run, didn't it?

One thing for sure that's happened since Ant has been out. Jaden has been balling. Really coming into his own offensively.

What a game. I miss PetBev jumping on the scorer's table for this one.

It was interesting to see Naz being successful playing most of his minutes next to Towns or Gobert. The Wolves really need to get an extension done with Naz before he hits free agency.

That was the only lineup that stopped Hawks. Hawks shot 53%-46%3s. Usually you win with that stat

What is he thinking? I love Naz and Prince scoring but their dumb mistakes in crunch time almost cost us another game.

I see the concern now. We forgive Prince after last game

but the Bulls game really hurts so maybe not

Keep in mind, the non-Conley minutes had been HORRENDOUS to that point. Yeah the Naz part might have been unorthodox, but the rest of the guys in that lineup have had a nice chemistry this season.

Well thank you Portland!

Naz and Prince also made some huge plays to keep us in that game. Jim Pete mentioned back to back plays from Prince(as well as him getting a steal, couple of assists) Naz had a lot of buckets, as well as a couple of big steals late.

Career game for Naz
He's scored more in others, but he was playing winning ball in this one.
I've been pretty critical of Naz, but gotta give him props tonight, great game.

Lucky they didn’t call it.

Seriously Finch. KAT is not an end of game shot maker.
Never has been never will be.

I encourage you to take your KAT hate to the Hawks message board. We don't need or want it here.

Well the Lakers certainly aren't going away.

This made me smile; Sam Mitchell and Isaiah Thomas post-game interview of KAT.

Watch on YouTube

Don't understand why Sam isn't part of the Wolves staff.

We need to find a 3rd pass first PG. It should be #1 priority this offseason

I’d go further. We need a young true-ish PG that can backup Conley and push him for starters minutes. I love a lot of what Conley has done since coming here, but he’ll be 36 at the start on next season. Slippage is already happening.
