Grizz need to find a way to finish this game in order to have a chance.

If you ask him he's always been that dude. His postgame outfits more often than not involve sunglasses lol.

Eh. They're getting good looks though. The three is highly variable, and sometimes it's not your night. Utah made 16.7 threes per game during the RS and knocked them down at a 39% clip. If they shoot just 29% in this game, they're up by 1. I'm not gonna overreact.

getting open looks wasn't really Jazz's biggest issue..In Jazz's playoff losses vs Rockets in recent years, Jazz got pretty good looks in those series but they just couldn't knock down those open looks..maybe they might not shoot this badly in rest of the series but for the top3 shooting team in RS, this has gotta be concerning

Man what the heck did you guys do to him? The Wolves games every year are BY FAR his best games. He'd easily be MVP if he played you every night. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it in all my years of watching the Grizz.

Brooks playing likes he’s possessed by the spirit of Dwayne Wade.

Can't believe Dillon Brooks was drafted at 45, and scrubs like Thomas Bryant and Semi Ojeleye went before him

I did not expect defense to be Kyle Anderson's calling card coming out of college

As good as we're playing, we should have a 20 point lead already. Utah is back to back threes away from making this a close game...

This may be the first game all year where Utah hits less than 10 threes.

Love Tillman but his lack of size is hurting us against Favors and Gobert on the boards.

In my headcanon we have this stuff called Timberwolves miracle tonic, sometimes opposing teams get ahold of some and drink it and then have great games (team shooting records, ridiculous defensive efforts, etc.) Brooks has bribes, someone, on the Wolves staff to smuggle a crate to him and he guzzles it all down before every wolves game.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.
