Nice 1st half by the Wolves. Naz getting into the groove. Wish we finish with a couple more points - either Conley make the layup or get the last shot off .3 seconds earlier.

Has there been a game yet where Randle has not lost his shoe?

He's on a historical shoe losing run!

McDaniels needs to be this aggressive every game.

I agree, but it won’t always be this easy to get to the rim. Other teams defend the paint.

He doesn’t have to get all the way to the rim. He might be our best midrange scorer.

Agreed ! We really take care in the first half but we make few costly mistakes now.

Finch could have call a timeout with the lead keep going down and we had 2 - 3 turnovers in a row. Dilly is not switching on D leading to open shots

Think we blew it that quarter. The defense vanished.

Rudy sits and we don’t have a defense. Even with Rudy in, Jaden is not able to defend Murray without help when he is being screened and rescreened. Too many poor defenders not helping out.

Denver went 20/24 in the quarter. That is 83.33%. Great shooting plus imaginary defense, plus hot hand Murray = :(
