Jaden McDaniels is doing his best KAT impression. Rebounding well and finding Rudy for dunks.

Phoenix is weathering the storm. Has a great chance to get up double digits but couldn’t

We should probably have more points, but Suns are burning a ton of energy on defense.

Not bad so far, but we are letting them hang around. We need to finish the Quarter strong.

If the refs call less fouls, it favors us with our size.

One minute left in 1st quarter up 3. Let's make it 7 by quarters end.

Horrible discipline by Karl-Anthony Towns. Minnesota beds him to guard Kevin Durant.

Monte Morris was WIDE open, not sure why Anthony Edwards would ever be the inbounder.

To be fair, I think some of the calls on Kat were questionable. They got to get him in better position and simplify going forward.

Ant took a poor angle on the PnR causing that foul.

Do you mean needs? Jaden can guard KD and NAW can guard Booker.

Not ideal at all to give up size defensively against Devin Booker, this is incredibly bad for Minnesota’s defensive scheme. Naz Reid moves like he’s in molasses and Jaden McDaniels gives up a lot of size against Kevin Durant.
