We are actually double teaming someone. That is new. Just keep it close and don't pile s* on ourselves. Hope Lakers hit a dry spell at some point (that is supposed to happen in CA once a while).

I am actually surprised how well DLo been playing for the Lakers.

KAT is in his bag so far.

A fantastic first quarter! Played under control, good defense, played with Edge. KAT looking amazing and under control. THATS WHAT THE FANS NEED TO SEE!!!!

Ant what a block! wow!

Prince is on fire that's a great sign!

Glad we got Kevin Harlan and Reggie Miller great duo of announcers.

Come on Ant, that was close to being stupid - let Hachimura take you out of the game or get a tech.

I feel like KAT decided all the moves he's ever tried in practice over the years, he's going to try in this play-in game lol

I don't think the Wolves can have McLaughlin, NAW, and Knight on the court at the same time. There is just no offensive creation and they end up with a McLaughlin or Knight missed 3.

Refs giving a tech there is super weak. Can't throw Ant out of a game like this.

We got through that first span with the bench players. We need a few more like that.

We may have the good Nowell tonight. That would be huge

J Mac has been terrible all year. He needs to step up...Now!

You know what would make this game great?

Not just a win, but Towns for 40. It might start to change the national perception of the guy.

Doing well so far but gotta watch out for LBJ. Might start to assert himself a little here

Nowell being back is huge man. They need that scoring punch.

May be the best I’ve ever seen Towns play. Even controlled himself and didn’t go after useless block attempt there, knowing he can’t pick up fouls on plays like that.

Right. He has to be the Naz, after Naz was the instant offense guy when Nowell couldn’t do it.

This might be a game where Nowell gets minutes over McLaughlin. The Wolves really need a secondary shot creator when one of Ant/KAT are on the bench.

Don't get punchy now, just make some 3s please. That is the only we we win. We have no answer on any LAL drive to the lane, especially LBJ.

He may not always be efficient but it’s def huge to have him back. One of our better transition players and puts pressure on the defense with his aggressiveness.
