Poor shot selection over and over. If Ant was smarter he’d be averaging the 30+ like other stars.

He’s starting to shoot them out of more games than keep them in it.

7 fouls called on us, 3 on them. 8 free throws to 4 in favor of OKC. For those who say the Thunder are defending without fouling, I say BS!!!!

Dillingham really struggling in the half court offense. He isn't getting his own shot and is having trouble making passes.

To be fair, he is not the only one....we are shooting like a G League team right. Not much defense too without Rudy.... at least starters should not play much tonight and can play better tomorrow... or not.

Wolves getting good shots with Ant on the bench, they just can't hit anything.

We complain sometimes here ( including me) how Rudy is frustrating when it come to offense but without him we are a lottery team...

We needed to win the small battles, we are literally losing every one except offensive rebounds. Ironically the reason OKC is losing those is because they are hitting a lot of their first attempts, shooting 69.2% from the field and 50% from deep.

Much better second quarter. Ball movement is much better when ANT don't keep the ball in hands.

Ant, Jaden, and Naz getting going to end the half and start the next half would REALLY help!

Luka with a good stint, mainly on the offensive glass. I'm not sure what is up with his 3pt shooting, he's no longer even taking the open looks.

Great second, we fight, hit finally some shoot . NAZ, Jaden and Clark carry the team. Still frustrating with stupid shoot from ANT when he get guys open.

When Jaylen Clark contributes much of anything on offense he is a huge plus on the court.

The NAW, Ant, Jaylen, Jaden, and Naz lineup is the Wolves best 5-man group right now. They can switch everything on defense and have enough offense to compete.

Shooting 35% at 3 with ANT at 1-7 is not bad. Hope ANT find his shoot in second half.

Just like last game I'm a bit worried about the team running of gas in the 4th. Ant, Jaden, and Naz all racked up big minutes in the first half.

Ant the only one shooting sub 30 is bad - Sorry, I stand corrected, Dilly is as well but has only taken 1 shot to Ants 11
