Edwards should not be guarding LeBron this consistently in the first half.

Wasn't a foul on the shot, but about 3 before the shot.

Luka and Lebron are second to only kyrie and lebron as the most fun two guys to watch play ball ever

But how Randle not getting the same call as LeBron- bad question

How is that a foul on Ant?

Nvm he was grabbing Bron the whole time with the other arm.

Why are people talking about how much stronger James is than Edwards? That's completely obvious in terms of their build and plus LeBron on that balco so no surprise there.

Only viable strategy for the Wolves right now is to keep it close enough that Lebron and Luka will gas out by the third/fourth. I'd keep going at them defensively and don't let them rest on defense.

Love Minnesota's spirit in this game. They're drawing arguably unnecessary fouls but it's in pursuit of making the Lakers radically uncomfortable.
