If it's the play I'm thinking of he got himself a wide open 10 footer. He should make those 8 out of 10 times and I'd be happy for Ant to shoot those all game long.

it will be great when it clicks in ANT's head that when he has two (or three) defenders honing in on him, its mission accomplished
team should have huge advantage elsewhere, even if its KA in the corner, the defense will still be back on their heels

As much as I want us to play team ball I have to admit it would be fun as hell if KAT could outscore Embiid tonight.

5 point game. Down from 18. Come on Wolves. KAT's 60 won't mean squat if we lose. Nobody will go home happy.

Turning a cool, fun night into a possible disaster if we don't turn it up. Wake up team. A loss tonight would be horrendous.

It's one point now. A loss would completely negate KAT's 60 whatever.

21-7 run and once again the 4th quarter offense dries up for Minnesota. We do this over and over and over again all season. It's a major problem.

I don't think 4th quarters have been as much of a problem as you think. Season as a whole I believe we have handily won the 4th quarter.

Wolves haven't improved the shot creation on the team since that Memphis playoff series in 2022 where they collapsed every 4th quarter

improved in other ways obviously

but when its clutch time, need bucket getters

How can we lose a 15 point lead to start the 4th quarter at home against a bad team. Tell me we can't and come out of this with a W.

We are going to need a sports miracle or we are going to lose. Hopefully this is the low point of the entire season and we put it in the rearview mirror.

This loss better wake the team up. Tired of seeing awful defensive performances against the bottom teams in the league. This should have been a 15+ point win the way KAT was scoring, even if he wasn't amazing in the 2nd half.

Jinx. See my post above.

We also have to play great defense every night. Our offense is not good enough to win shootouts. We can't get into them, most teams will take us out. We need to dominate on the defensive end and grind wins out that way. If its a fast-paced shooting game, that's a bad situation for us. Not this teams DNA.

Hornets had the Wolves scrambling, they are playing 5 out with small lineups

having Gobert try to stay with Rozier after a switch 25 feet away from the basket is advantage for Hornets

Chance to win on the final possession. OMG.

great job by Rudy staying with Ball, no way he was passing it
