I respect JJ so much for just saying screw it and playing one lineup the whole second half

Ant oustscoring the Lakers 11-5 by himself in the first 4:18. 3/3 from 3. JJ Redick calls a timeout as Edwards holsters a red hot right hand Wolves back within 4, 99-95, with 7:42 to go.

Anthony Edwards is out there to start the 4Q. Lakers keeping their 5 out there that played the entire 3Q. All hands on deck.

Wolves are shooting 6/14 on layups/floaters in this third quarter and just 1/6 on jump shots. Not going to cut it against a small-ball Lakers lineup that is getting wide open looks almost every time down. Need some 3s to fall in the fourth!

Chris Finch's move to double Luka on every ball screen hasn't worked. Lakers getting wide open shot after wide open shot Wolves can't buy a bucket on the other end.

Luka is screaming at Rui Hachimura telling him that he has to come to the ball when Luka gets doubled. Big quick 4-0 spurt from the Wolves to keep the Lakers at bay. 33 of the Wolves' 76 points have come off turnovers or second chances - a key reason this one is close.

3 possessions later and Luka Dončić is still complaining about the no-call that led to Jaden McDaniels' open corner 3.

Conley is not happy as he heads back to the locker room, limping on that left leg.

Mike Conley giving up his body to block LeBron James at the rim on a seal in transition. Huge moment as the Lakers have all the momentum.

11-0 Lakers run to start the half and they lead by 8 at the 9:12 mark. Zero energy in the arena. Wolves are getting beat off the dribble, late in rotation, and not rebounding misses, either. Tough combo. 7 of the Lakers' 8 shots have been 3s, making 3 of them. Noticeable shift.

JJ Redick is starting Dorian Finney-Smith ahead of Jaxson Hayes to open the third quarter.

Donte DiVincenzo, Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are the first ones out for halftime warmups for the Wolves, all exclusively shooting 3s. Those three are 2/8 from 3 today. They'll need to hit a few big ones in the second half

Anthony Edwards is up and moving during the timeout. Looks like he will stay out there after his leg bent inward

And now LeBron just dove at Ant's leg and Ant is writhing in pain holding his left knee

LeBron James has 14 free throw attempts in the first half. Just 4 FGAs. Wolves have to find a way to keep him out of the paint and defend him without fouling.

Last 3 possessions from Anthony Edwards - Blow-by for an and-1 - Doubled, finds Julius for a bucket - Blows by Luka, finds Jaden for a dunk But he's been getting into it with LeBron, lost composure on defense, and gifted L.A. 4 points last 2 trips. Has to be smart

Wolves are in the bonus for the final 5:03. But they're just 10/15 from the free throw line. Super costly in a what feels like it will go right down to the end.

submitted 2 days ago • 0 comments

Wolves aren't blocking out and the Lakers are consistently crashing from the corners to create offensive rebounds. Lakers have 5 offensive rebounds for 9 second chance points after those LeBron free throws. --> 6 of those 9 have been free throws.

Luka is absolutely killing Naz in space

Now it's Ant/Jaden/Naz/Julius/Rudy, which is the Wolves biggest lineup among rotation guys. Gotta dominate the paint on both ends here

submitted 2 days ago • 0 comments

Huge lineup in there for the Wolves right now against a LeBron/Vando/DFS frontline. Finch goes to Mike/Jaden/Naz/Julius/Rudy. Immediately force a turnover and get to the free throw line. Redick counters with Hachimura in for Vando

First time since Game 1 that Donte DiVincenzo has made everyone in the arena feel his presence. He's flying around defensively, raising hell, already racking up 3 steals and a board in 9 minutes. Finding other ways to impact the game w/ his shot not falling.

Austin Reaves just picked up his third foul at the 10:23 mark of the third quarter. JJ Redick is going to challenge it. Seemed pretty animated coming onto the foul with the finger circling

submitted 2 days ago • 1 comment

Huge close to the quarter for the Wolves. 6-0 run gets them back within 32-28 after 1, withstanding Luka/LeBron magic and hot 3-point shooting. 9 OREBs for 5 2C PTS for Minnesota in the frame, and up 5-0 in transition, too.

Timberwolvesere w 0/5 at the rim and 3/7 on other paint 2-point attempts before Nickeil got the first one to go there. Finishing has been a major problem all series long

Randle is back in the game and goes right at Austin Reaves, who picks up his second foul. Now four players with two fouls, two on each team. Reaves is staying out there, though.

First quarter TJ Shannon minutes in place of Naz Reid, who has two fouls and is being targeted defensively

Hell of a first stint for Julius Randle. 9 of the Wolves' first 12 points on 3/5 FG, 2/2 FT, and held LeBron without a shot in the first 5 minutes. Big time minutes as Ant and Jaden struggle offensively

Right on cue, he creates two second chances in one possession. Need more of that Rudy Gobert for the rest of the game

submitted 2 days ago • 0 comments

LeBron James has guarded Mike Conley with Jaxson Hayes guarding Jaden McDaniels on several possessions so far. Lakers trying to get away from Luka Dončić guarding McDaniels as much as they can.

Rudy Gobert has gotten beaten for a second chance opportunity twice in the first 3 minutes. He has to be better on the glass if he wants Chris Finch to keep him out there.

Third options in this series: Austin Reaves: • 17.3 PPG on 42.2/32.0/85.7 splits • 5.0 REB, 4.0 AST, 2.3 TOV • -33 in 121 MIN Jaden McDaniels: • 21.0 PPG on 58.7/36.4/83.3 splits • 6.0 REB, 1.3 AST, 0.7 TOV • +31 in 109 MIN Big reason why Minnesota leads 2-1 thus far.

Ant on managing emotions and the environment in the building: "When Ju made his first basket it was so loud in there I couldn't hear the play ... that was probably the most fun I've had in Target Center"

The Wolves are going to withstand a 38-point effort from LeBron James and take Game 3 at home behind a playoff-career-high 30 points from Jaden McDaniels and 29/8/8 from Anthony Edwards. 2-1, Minnesota.

Ant willingly dribbling into double teams -- outside of his finishing -- is probably the biggest thing he needs to clean up for the rest of this series. Two straight bad possessions doing exactly that.

Wolves' last three offensive possessions: - Anthony Edwards isolation score on LeBron - Anthony Edwards dime to Naz for 3 - Anthony Edwards step-back 3 on Luka Big time stretch ongoing from the franchise cornerstone

That's a good challenge from Jeff Newton and Chris Finch. Looks like all ball from Anthony Edwards

Finch is going to close small with Randle/Reid in the front-court. Gobert will sit, with just one point and three rebounds in his 25 minutes.

What does Rui Hachimura need to do to get called for a foul? He's mugging Randle and Naz any chance he gets

Wolves will be in the bonus for the final 3:49

Lakers' shot-making and ability to play defense much more physically than the Wolves is keeping them right there. Minnesota needs to get back to moving it quickly in the shot clock and find some off-ball movement that was a staple of their offense in the 1Q.

Important stop to close out a good third quarter for Minnesota, but some air came out of the balloon on a 6-1 Lakers run to close it. Wolves shot 4/10 from 3 in that quarter, but Lakers went 5/8 to prevent Minnesota from gaining separation. Feels like a night Ant plays all 4Q
