Not that the Wolves played bad but I don’t think the lakers could have played any better with this squad. Sorry Finch that was a genius challenge.

Lakers choked. Bad officiating, but still doesnt excuse their bad play. they are one trade away from being legit contenders.
I do wonder how different things would have been with Mark Williams.

What a game! Twolves just too much youth and athleticism, Macdaniels Edwards in particular. Shout out LeBron too for a monster game and some huge defensive plays in the 4th

We didn't deserve to win, key turnovers, gave up too many offensive rebounds.

WOOOOOOOW!!!

And that's how you get a crucial end of game, game swinging call right.

It shouldn't have to be based on a challenge but good Minny had one to use based on current system.
