I'm not superstitious. This will not Jinx us. We can't lose this game now..... Can we?

The Magic are 13-4 at home. They are missing one significant player Franz Wagner. We should probably win, but this first half has been ridiculous.

The best part is that Ant didn’t need to have a good half for us to dominate.

Did I mention Rudy with a first half double double? KAT may get 40 tonight.

When was the last time the Wolves had a 30 point first half lead?

Congrats to the Orlando Magic on breaking 20 points in the second quarter.

Damn near flawless first half. Maybe the best we have looked all season. Bravo, bravo!

That cross-cut between Jaden and Rudy Is kinda genius. If they don't switch it, help defender becomes a much smaller guy who's not a rim protector.

Beating who we're supposed to beat.

I know people have been down in this stretch, but we really have seemed to turn a page in maturity this year.

Towns for MVP - best I seen him played for a while. Great passing too.

No more Towns trade talks. At least for today.

I actually think Rudy was the MVP of the first half.

Let's make sure we don't lose focus like in the Hawks game. I want to see Milton starting the fourth quarter

Wendell Carter Jr., Jonathan Isaac, Gary Harris, and Joe Ingles are all pretty important rotational players. It would kind of be like if Karl-Anthony Towns (Franz Wagner), Jaden McDaniels, Kyle Anderson, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, and Naz Reid were out (alongside four more of Minnesota's young players like Josh Minott and Luka Garza).

Great half, better than anything you could ever ask for, but Orlando is legitimately pretty brutally depleted, right now.

A dominant win like this tonight and if we just get any kind of win against Boston I will consider this stretch a resounding success even with the setback moments.

Those guys barely move the meter IMO. Isaac and Carter have hardly even played this year. They put up most of their wins without them.

How about "Two Big" lineup work to perfection. Too big for Orlando to handle

Best half of the season for both Jaden and KAT.
Jaden super high energy, quick hands and feet without fouling, shutting down their best scorer and playmaker.
KAT the total package offensively, shooting, driving, playing big and finishing strong.
Rudy had a very good half too making smart plays and being strong with the ball, which has been a big problem for us lately.

Orlando having a brutal shooting night, 29% from 3 and even worse from 2 with a lot of blown layups.
Missing 6 rotation quality players, WCJ and Wagner especially.

NAW 0/3 but a plus 24.
Naz explosive off the bench as usual.

Hopefully a game like this can give Jaden a lot of confidence.

May I also say what an absolute treat it is to watch a game where the refs let both teams play a little bit physical?
Almost brings a tear to my eye.

Maybe Marney is also our good luck announcer.
