Add Tyrese to the injury list after last night aggravating his recent injuries. Just needs to recuperate from the grind.

All odds against Pacers tonight.

Best team in the west second only behind Celtics.

On the road with no Tyrese.

Gobert and Towns on the boards.

Conley and Ant Edwards plus Jaden McDaniels.

Strong bench.

After 1 down 23-20. Both teams sloppy. Wolves lead 7-6 in turnovers. Both teams 40% from 2. Towns only double digit scorer with 14.

Shepherd and Walker in early due to needed bodies in rotation on a back to back.

So far good Pacers have showed up tonight only down 2 points 57-55 at halftime. Great accomplishment for a tired team.

Brown who I questioned his output last night 5-8 for 10 points. Nesmith perfect 5 for 5 for 13 points leads the team. Toppin and Jackson both 3-3. Walker 1-1, 2 rebounds, 1 assist. Winning rebound battle.

Gotta get with it group is Turner 1-4, Hield 0-2 with 3 turnovers, and Mathurin 2-7. Only Edwards and Towns hurting the Pacers currently.

No Tyrese and no Nembhard. Playing them even is a surprise.

103-78 early in the 4th quarter and Pacers can’t keep up with the T wolves.

Without Haliburton this team is really bad. Glory of the tournament is over, is it time to start the Tank process again?

MN is leading the West and we were a tired team at the end of a long series of road games. It was a good time to rest Tyrese and give Jarace some experience. At halftime Jennie described it as missing 3 of our top 8 so it was more than missing our best player. The expectation was always to try to finish a bit over 500 and that's where we are.

The Pacers are a bad rebounding team who plays bad defense.
