SGA Jdub and Chet were huge this game.

ANT too passive and Randle was a disaster. That's pretty much the game. Minny can't take care of the ball either. Miracle it was even close.

Free throw differential never paints the full picture. Off ball fouls (and non calls) play into it as much. Caruso probably fouled 5x without a call within a 1 minute span, it is what it is.

I get people don't like the way it looks but SGA is a phenomenal player. What he's doing tonight is basketball magic. This is how an MVP plays.

Wolves getting so many 50/50 calls in their favor it’s ridiculous.

That looked clean.

NAW becoming a two-way all star and having a rivalry with his cuz would be great for the league.

That Chick-fil-A ad banner made the court a weird red hue. Wonder if that was on purpose for the fts, not that it mattered.

It's the worst when there is a loose ball, it's like they all forget who they're guarding and inevitably it turns in to a wide open shot.


That's the thing. Watch OKC. They stay disciplined and usually finds their guys in these situations. OKC has been winning a lot of these loose ball situations too and they are quick to find the open guy.
