Solid win for the Wolves but I don't feel great. Just really not a fan of the late game offense for the Wolves. So much of it is Ant holding or dribbling the ball above the 3 point line til 8 seconds or left on the shot clock. He's got nowhere to drive in the paint so just really ugly offense. He made some shots tonight and the defense held up but instead of going for the kill, felt like they were trying to run out the clock which just feel like scared offense. I'm sure it's the smart thing to do overall but getting good shots at the end of the game should be more of a focus then running the clock down as much as possible.
Otherwise, Jaden on Kyrie made a world of difference. Can't have both Kyrie and Luka getting close to 30, gotta live with one and try and take kyrie out of the game as much as possible. He definitely never got a rhythm going in the 2nd half and that turnover at the end was very uncharacteristic and I think the defense tonight was a big part.
Rock head KAT
Kyle Anderson was really good tonight. Been great all series but he was directing shyt out there like he did so well last year. Ant was solid all around. Appreciate his effort on the boards and his relentless driving into the paint and finding the kick out passes.
Just been a good basketball series. All these games are close. The role players are up and down but have played pretty well overall and it's come down to which top 2 plays best and for the first time, the Wolves did
But got a lot of respect for the Mavs. They play great basketball and their top players got so much skill and role players just do their jobs perfectly. Jones Jr. And Gafford
someones eventually gonna break through
