Just saw KAT scream for a foul and then Dallas got a bucket on the other end, we can't meltdown like that against good teams, they will exploit that and push our buttons everytime, it's a weakness. Got to see if we can overcome that, the mental game is huge when it comes to being good.

Collapse would be the correct answer however as I'm typing this we get the deficit down to 9, but then Vando with foul 4.

Yea game is not over but this is a massive game for our development. We have to understand how mentally strong you have to be to maintain being good. We have some natural bad habits and they are difficult to cull but we have to start doing just that. In the playoffs we are going to see the opposing team do everything they can to get us off our game including frustrate us.

Edwards has twice has a chance to dunk the ball and he missed badly because he decided to just lay it in

I really am loving this for us. I just hope we take some of these lessons to heart, even better if we win.

The Wolves have missed 6-7 layups that were somewhere between easy and moderate in difficulty. Tough to win when you can't make shots at the rim.

If we can get a basket in the 3.9 seconds left in the third and get the ball first in the 4th we are right back in this. I'm going to be honest. I thought we were done.

We got the tools, and we got the talent. We just need to show the fortitude.

This is one of those games where it feels almost impossible to get over that hump.

Prince now has taken the most FG attempts. Lot of good looks though. Just can’t capitalize

I'm actually feeling pretty confident but there is no reason for that really, Dallas is handling us but I feel good about our chances, they are quickly dwindling as I type though lol.

Let's hope Dallas doesn't have another horseshoe they will bust out to hit some crazy-ass shots and win.

Finch switched to a full spacing line-up, which I think is HUGE. Plus, more switch-ability on defense.
