Minnesota should be ashamed of themselves. Man for man, I think they're better than Golden State, but this effort is pathetic. These are still NBA players you're playing against. They're playing like this is summer runs.

Gobert’s elite defense singlehandedly keeping Minny in this game

I mean they kinda did. Lakers offense was just gross and we absolutely killed our selves with backbreaking turnovers which lead to easy points the other way.

What the hell are the Wolves doing?
You can't tell me that's the same confident team that just made quick work of the Lakers
I know LA wasn't that good but man are the Wolves playing some awful basketball

This is an absolutely atrocious half from Minnesota. Good lord. Golden State's defense deserves some credit for this.

Didn’t Warriors do that to the Rockets in game 7? Poor play is obvious, but maybe Warriors defense should get some credit too.

Draymond has the most points in this game with 16. Never saw this coming.

It’s insane that Jonathan Kuminga passed up on that extension, the dude stinks.
