Yikes, called it earlier, refs trying to keep this watchable for ratings. Lakers could have still prevented it by hitting some open shots but I guess we're back in the pre 2010 era here

Gobert is playing great. The man has flaws. And his detractors are more or less telling the truth when they call them out. But he does a ton of things right that get ignored because his game is ugly.

Lakers playing the best they possibly can at home along with getting every call and the Wolves are still in it

He’s been short on his last 4-5 shots. Father Time in effect

Gobert is actually decent in isolation. He's not as good as an elite wing but he's not easy to cook. Luka and a lot of players are just so amazing they makes it look easy. Those are still usually difficult shots.

Lebron is OLD, old. He's lucky the league is giving them two days off per game for TV reasons.

Sure Is, Wolves making a comeback, how Is this possible.

That's probably due to the fact that they are the better team and have been better for 6/8 quarters so far in this series.

They’re shooting 23% on wide open threes.

The reffing is an affront to basketball fans everywhere, no matter who you are a fan of.

It’s more so him losing his legs from playing intense defense, but that to be fair is a result of being 40

Some of you casuals really need to go to bed. Complaining about the officiating every time the game gets close.

Don’t know how anyone can believe lakers are the better team. Minnesota should win this series.

Who wins?
