Key buckets? They were already up 7 when Kuzma made his first shot in the 4th with 4 minutes left.

He was an efficient .230 from 3. So there is that. He only jacked up 13 of them.

Yeah…bad shooting by Kuz from 3. He needs to take fewer of them. But he shot 10 for 14 from 2 and had only one turnover in 32 mins.

Turnovers were good, Jones had his normal high assist/low turnover games and we avoided them from the normal suspects. Shooting was generally good. Bagley gave us some offensive rebounding off the bench.

Yep, Kuz would be good if he wasn't jacking up so many shots. Might be able to save a bit of energy for defense and defensive rebounding too.

This is a coaching issue. WUJ set a poor example - tough on the new coach.
