Game 19 | MIN @ CHA

Maybe no Wemby on Wednesday - he’s day-to-day.

If ANT not 100% let him rest too. We don't need him to beat SA. IT's nice that we got a break now as some of our players really start to get tired. Mike need sone rest for sure.

AAAARRRRROOOOOO!!!


Important victory!! While I was seeing the HL of the match I thought we wouldn't make it after they overtook us!

We are definitely a different team compared to last year and to think that we literally threw a W out the window vs ATL otherwise we would have the best NBA record!

AAAARRRROOOOO!!!

Didn’t catch the game as we’re traveling, but…

I’m hearing a lot of people say “3 bigs!”, but when I look at this game flow, it doesn’t appear that it was effective:

Aaaaarrrrrrooooooo!!!! Taking care of business is their new motto this season. Glad they weathered storm and gutted a win! Great learning lesson for when the playoffs come

Hey guys been a while. I was thinking about it. When was the last time 3 centers each scored more than 20 points in the same game? As impressive as the 3 big men were, it is the fact that even on tough nights we always seem to have at least 3 big performances. NAW came up big against the Jazz, and TBJ against the Thunder. Some nights it’s Jaden, or Mike, Kyle (though he has struggled lately.) That 3rd big game is the difference maker.

The vibes are immaculate.

Karl-Anthony Towns (28), Rudy Gobert (26) and Naz Reid (23) combined to score 77 points in the Wolves’ win tonight.

Chris Finch was so pleased with how the three centers were playing that he played all three together for three minutes in the 4th quarter.

Here are the offensive and defensive possessions in that three minute stretch. A stretch the Wolves lost 8 to 9 — which, to me, was a fair representation of how clean the offense looked and how simultaneously choppy the defense was.

On the night, here’s Towns, Gobert and Reid’s combined lines…
Points: 77
- 7 of 14 from 3, 24 of 35 from 2
Rebounds: 24
Assists: 7
Blocks: 4

I'm going with a 95% probability that he plays on Wednesday. The game he just missed was a Pop rest the 2nd day of a B2B special.

What’s your opinion—the three playing at the same time? I saw all the stats.

I get that it's clunky...but to me, the goal of sub-lineups isn't necessarily to drastically outscore the opponents...but to simply stay even. This is the second time we've seen the "Big 3" and they essentially played even with the opponent. Now it will be on the scouting report as something for opposing coaches and players to think about. I don't think it will be in the every day rotation of lineups, but they still have to prepare as if it is.
