Today is the best I had seen Tre Jones played. It's funny I felt he was a step slow but he is a step faster than Wolves' guards.

Once again Finch is a possession slow in calling timeouts

ANT you have to make your FTs in the last two minutes at least. Star players don't miss those.

Should’ve challenged McDaniel’s 6th foul…

Finch should had challenge that last JMcD call.

I feel like you have to challenge that, as Chris Finch. Nine point lead and you have two timeouts, that's potentially a game deciding call; you have to play the odds.

Absolutely sick call against Jaden. I really hate how offensive players get babied these days; Vassell literally jumped AT Jaden and Jaden literally moved AWAY from the contact. Absurd.

We made this game way too interesting, but a win is a win.

Defense in the third quarter is what really got this done. Hopefully Naz is ok.

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! 6-2! That's a nice win streak, hope they continue the momentum against the Warriors!

Winning ugly is what good teams do. There is no easy road victories. Towns had a great game today. Let's get that next one off the B2B GSW team.

Can't be mad at this. Minnesota played poorly, but still managed to stave off Victor Wembanyama's incredible talent.

Should have scored at the end of the game because the point differential matters for the in-season tournament, but oh well.

Not a good effort but it does not matter. We win. Let's play better in the B2B agasint GSW.

Game was really boring until the end. Even still, that was a good win. Spurs really took it to us, we were sloppy as hell and we looked bad. Shout out to Towns for holding it down and he really was a rock scoring for us and only getting one or two fouls. Ant was off and I was very worried about what we would do ina game where Ant couldn't carry us and Townw as shooting like trash, well we didn't have to find out. Towns carried the load tonight while Ant struggled and then Ant came to life later.

We still won it somewhat comfortably though we looked terrible.

Arooooo!

Hope we look better next game and show a lot more energy. this was a yawnfest.

Its literally the main talking point about what he needs to improve. I don't think anyone is sweeping it under the rug.

Could KAT finish the year with more offensive fouls than defensive ones?

That is an interesting question. I like him being aggressive on the offensive end. I look at these hook up calls but can you really tell whose hooking up who?

Just hope Naz is okay, he always goes crazy against the warriors.

We didn't play well, bad 1st and 4th quarters and a lot of sloppy offense, but a great 3rd quarter and we played well enough to pull out the win. We would have lost this game last year, even if it wasn't pretty, it's great that we finished and came back quick after we got down 10 early.

KAT played well after a bad 1st quarter, some pretty good defense and rebounding from him too.
NAW played very well, 9 pts 4 assists, great defense and 3/4 from the field and 2/2 from the line.
Jaden needs to quit fouling.

I hope Ant and Naz are okay after getting banged up.

Real lack of playmaking talent is holding SA back, they are another player away from being a playoff team.
Sochan at PG is ridiculously stupid and not good for Wemby.
Should be starting Tre Jones and playing real PG's.
We destroyed them with our zone when Tre was off the floor.

Wemby's mostly a perimeter player on offense right now, he has post moves but gets bodied very easily on both ends.
Can't deny he is very talented though.
If he can stay healthy, will be a top 20 player for a long time.
