A close game starting to turn into a runaway in just 30 seconds. It's the Wolves standard fall behind big in the 1st Quarter game plan.

Start slow. But OKC is good. KAT need to shoot more.

Monster? At what? Flailing? Flopping?

He's everything that Anthony Edwards hopes to grow into. Amazing player.

Yep. :) He's a good player and getting better but certainly not a monster.

Looks like OKC is going to the OG gameplan against the Twin City Tower Wolves. Run them off the floor and beat them with speed and offense. That absolutely murdered us last season has not worked so well this year, so far it's been solid for OKC tonight. Let's see if we can break it down.

Huge 3 to end the quarter. Our #1 defense in the NBA gave up 40 in the 1st Quarter. Clamp down Wolves.

Easily a monster player. One of the top 5 in the league if not the best of them all. Two way. Great on offense, incredibly efficient, crazy on defense, most steals in the association. Yeah he's a monster.

Close game. We're going to wear them down and win.

How have we not heard a spin cycle joke yet? Both teams have each other in a spin cycle and the shooting is just smoking hot for both teams.

The only thing worse than a ref blowing a call, is calling a tech after. That was a flop and the video showed it.

I'm usually cool with listening to the other teams broadcasters, but these KLOWNS are getting me sick.

See if we can get it back to 5 or less before the half.

OKC is playing great defense. The double on Towns is working really well, they are totally playing off of Kyle, trapping Towns and recovering very quickly when Towns does move the ball out. They got our number so far.

The difference is their bad shooters are catching fire. We keep leaving Dort and he keeps making us pay. We cannot do the same with Kyle because unlike a 30 something percent 3 point shooter who can load up and make you pay, we have 9% 3 point shooter who cannot. Kyle cannot play with Rudy against a good team.

Ant can't buy a FT. If we can keep this to 5 or less at the half I'll consider it a win.
