Not one of ANT’s better quarters…

I'm not a fan of the offensive foul push off Ant was called for while Duren got away with holding down Beringer's shoulder and that foul.

I'd like to see Kuminga be a relief valve in instances like this when a team is riding Ant and LaMelo so hard.

Detroit is a really physical team. Lots of clutching and grabbing out there.

Joan with an uber-active 8 minutes. 8 points, 4 rebounds, and.....3 fouls.

That's been Jaden since opposing team's seem intent on trying to hide their weaker defenders on him so that they can focus on Ant and Ball. Fortunately the Wolves are recognizing that and getting him the ball. If they do something similar with JK I suspect he will get more opportunities.

I love calling the shot 8-)

Yup, but they've been leaving him open! Then Cunningham blows by him on the other end. Not a good look defensively.

Ant and Ball with pretty poor games so far.

Paul Reed one of the best backup bigs in the NBA. Really, really solid on both ends. Detroit is a good team, but not sure they have enough bucket-getters to go the distance (?).

Really hated that last play by ant. Beringer flashes wide open and could have hit him for a layup. Instead he goes into the double team and forces an off balance shot that misses by a lot. Really would like to start seeing ant make the right play.
