We are going to need several guys not named Towns or Edwards to step up to win this one.

When KAT is on the floor we dominate. When he is off we get dominated. This game is a microcosm of what we have watched all season.

That stint with the bench cost us. They tried using KAT as the main initiator but the Griz just doubled/tripled him; and with no perimeter scorers on the floor, we couldn’t make them pay.

Ant is a future superstar, we got so lucky getting him in the draft

4 fouls on Ant and McD. 5 on Kat. Were in trouble.

I've run out of superlatives for Ant. Amazing.

This has been almost near perfect offensive performance from Ant...not just scoring but he has made the right pass to the open shooter most of the time. A shame it might end up in a loss

Edwards is exactly what this franchise needed most. A legitimate shot at a superstar wing. You can't win a chip without one and he give a great shot, just amazing talent and confidence. He isn't even getting calls, when he starts getting calls that's when he will really be a force. Everything he is getting tonight is just pure skill/talent.

Crazy enough the wolves have been way more entertaining than the Twins in the last month.

Well said..KAT is a great player, but Ant has that tier 1 type of demeanor about him that wants it in the big moments. I think he and KAT will be one of the top duos next year, with DLO being our 3rd banana

Well if KAT can stay on the floor for the next 5 minutes we will be eating sweet grizzly soup. If not, Tyus extends his streak against the wolves to 6 straight.

Have to admit. Russell has played a pretty good floor game, getting guys easy buckets.

How did Bane fall to 30 in the draft. I know we’re excited about Bolmaro, but how nice would it having a 45% three point shooter with Bane’s ability to guard multiple positions coming off the bench.

Wonder how much we'll offer V8 this off season? He'll be a great energy big off the bench

Yep to be great having an elite Big and a small is an amazing combo.

Dlo with 14 asts shows he can run the team without hero ball. That is huge.
