I think combo of Wolves strategy and the fact that he doesn't have a lot of great players to pass to.


From watching a little closer, it looks like the Twolves are just incredibly fast on their closeouts. Luka will find an open man but Twolves guys are closing the gap very quickly before the Lakers player can shoot.


Yes, and he lacks the explosiveness to get full committal from any help.

Neck? He got hit on the back of the head. Boxers have lost their lives getting hit in the back of the head. I'd go after someones knees if they did that to me.

If I'm a Wolves fan I wish that was a flagrant-2 to get Gobert's bum ass off the court

Gobert just gave potentially 4-5 points to the Lakers.

What the hell is James complaining about when he just injured Edwards? You get what you put out.

Dirty play by Gobert. Will certainly be a flagrant.

Weird that Rudy did that just because Bron boxed him out
