Thank Randle for OT with all those missed FTs.

There are 2 wide open teammates if Ant just makes the first pass out of the double team.

Embarrassing not being able to close against 5 bench players, 2 of them deep bench players.

When you give them a bunch of wide open looks you give even a mediocre shooter confidence.
That's Obi Toppin tonight.

Are you freaking kidding me?

Why on earth does Ant stop and chuck a 3 there when he has a wide open path to the basket?

We did not deserve this one definitely. Unable to score in OT ( except FT, only one 3 from Mike), 31% at 3 if not enough when the opponent is hot. Poor coaching tonight for me too.

Just a bad game from Ant decision making wise. He was unstoppable while driving but just kept on going to stepback 3 even when it was not working all night. Until Ant's decision making late in the game improves, Wolves are gonna keep having losses like this

It just wasn’t meant to be. Toppin hit some lucky shots. It’s nasty but it just seemed like they were meant to lose

At this point in the season this was honestly one of the worst losses. Pacers didn't play their 3 best players, their 4th best guy got ejected in the 3rd and their 5th best player fouled out and this team still lost to them. Can't lose games like that.

Thanks for Julius Randle TC.

Least favorite Timberwolf of all time.

Loses contain in pick and roll for the 169th time of the game for game winning corner 3.
Instead of handing off the ball to Dante per play design for a layup/floater/FT's takes his usual low efficiency turnaround.

We will be a play in team at best for the forseeable future while he is on the roster and playing major minutes.

Such a talented team, yet underperform..

Always lucky shots from our competition?? Too late for that. Circumstance? Of what??

Please explain to me how the talent of this team is sitting in 7th place.
