Jaden has improved so much on his rebounding

Ball movement. Love it

I think a big part has to do with ball movement. We got a lot last Randle/Ant pounding the ball for 18 sec today.

Finally a good challenge by Finch!

Even just on the glass would be enough.

Wolves been dominant most of the game against a good team and people here are still complaining

Who knew Finch has these smart timeouts? Where has this been all season long?

What a beautiful action for that NAW corner 3 from Naz. More of that please, less Randle postups

2:26 in the 3rd good timeout by Finch. Don’t need to let this get out of hand.

Also less Randle 3s. His slump is making Jaden look like prime Klay Thompson.

I counted 3 lazy D efforts from Randle to close out the 3rd qtr. That's got to change.

I would love to see Naz get more involved, Randle a little less involved, and one huge quarter by Ant would be nice (though unlikely as he is under the weather.) Overall a solid team game marked by good defensive effort, especially attacking passing lanes.

Ask and Ant shall provide

Wolves need to be really smart here

I just hope all those sloppy plays - including Dilly step out on a fast break - don't cost us the game

I just got here for the fourth quarter. In the first 2.5 minutes, the score is MIN 1, DEN 0. Exciting.

Dillingham is so dang quick/twitchy that he may become an average level defender despite his size.

Looks like white flag might have waived for Denver. Gonna see the garbage time lineup. Miller and Clark might even score.

7 players score in double digits so far and Conley is not one of them. Good balance game with Ant and Gobert with awesome stats so far
