Makes me so mad. It’s how they lost to Dallas. Don’t need to do that! Especially Shai, helping way too deep

Fun quarter, wolves need to tighten things up a little more and they can send this back to minnesota tied.

Its pretty glaring when Rudy leaves the floor. Just a relentless attack at the rim.

Offense looks much better.
Defense does not.

That's a complete DISS on SGA. Jefferson's never been talented enough to sniff at it so he has to make it small he could feel better about it.

It’s brutal how Minnesota’s shooting on open looks has cratered in the post-season. They keep getting wide open looks that they just can’t convert on.
They honestly are better off when contested. Percentages overall are fine tonight, but it’s been so bizarre.

ANT said he watched a ton of Doncic footage and you can see he's trying those same passes into the corner from double teams. Wolves getting some clean open looks.

41.7% from 3 this game. It's the paint that's a problem right now.
