Turnovers and lack of bench production is the reason we are trailing in this one.

I think the biggest need is a ball handling guard who can create his own shot I.e Coby White.

Backup defensive Center, 3&D wing, shot-creating guard, game manager PG.....the list goes on depending on the game we're watching!

Who was Mitchell guarding to start the game? Jaden? If so, we need to go at him every time until they change up their defense. This is not a great game for Julius to try to bully his way into the paint with Mobley and Allen in there.

...or may be we'll just keep going to Randle, LOL.

Really nice start to the quarter

Just caught up to live time. Cavs gave some nice punches in the first half but Wolves didn't flinch.

Man, tough shot by Jaden with that long-2 turnaround, but it's a good look since Mitchell is like 9 inches shorter. Make Mitchell defend!

Yeah, Randle has been really good. This is what TC envisioned when he wanted 2 reliable playmakers and acquired Randle.

I would think Randle doesn't match up well against Cleveland, but he's proving me wrong.

Cleveland has gotten a TON of loose 50/50 balls this game. Tracking those down isn't exactly a strength of ours.
