The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

Evan Mobley, the sharp shooter.

Well at least we're not Detroit!

I really like what I’ve been seeing from Mobley since returning from injury. And I think splitting up the minutes between the core 4 is doing them wonders. Tonight was the worst Cleveland’s looked during this hot streak, still got the job done.

Mitchell is on one heckuva role. He just keeps getting buckets when we need them - much like stretches of last season.

Evans ability to effortlessly lay the ball in the hoop when close to it is what impressed me in this game. He's a quick off his feet with that length and he's using it very well.
