Is 1-10 from behind the arc good?

Damn. Can't ask for a better look than that! D-Lo hits that shot a lot too. Of course Ant fumbles the ball away for his sixth turnover trying to get behind the three-point line when the Wolves didn't need a three. Ugh.

Minnesota wins this game if Anthony Edwards doesn't play like Josh Okogie all night. Bummer. Can't wait to hear what he says during the post-game presser.

DLO had a number of chances to win this one for the Wolves in the 4th. He played hard and smart but couldn't hit big shots a max player needs to make in a game like this. But can't really blame him for the loss though. It was a collective loss. Too many turnovers, Towns' lack of poise and productivity in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, Edwards poor shooting are some other issues. But a good effort by the Wolves. If they bring this effort to the next three games, all at home, the Wolves should win all three of them. That would give them a 7-9 record heading to New Orleans fir a winnable match against the Pelicans. The season isn't over and the playoffs remain a plausible goal for this team.

A 23 win team doesn't carry momentum into the next season 4 months later. Draft picks still hold more value. I tank all day no matter the odds.

If the team can parlay THAT type of energy and defense into a blowout win on Wednesday against the Kings, then tonight can be viewed as glass half-full.

If they, a bad team, take another bad team for granted (again), then it's same old Minnesota Timberwolves.

Saw this on Twitter and I agree

Another sub .400 shooting game. This is the biggest concern, we can't hit shots.

We get absolutely nothing from too many players that enter the game.
