Good finish to the quarter. I'd like to see them keep it double digits the rest of the way.

The mask doesn't seem to be affecting him. He has been crashing and hustling like usual.

I don't understand what the refs are seeing tonight but the Wolves have benefited from 2 out of 3 of the calls.

I’m just noticing kuminga body language getting annoyed with Rudy

Ayo is tough. I think any questions about his contract can be put to bed.

Melo has had a really nice defensive game.

Sky Lyles keeps playing well. He has been a key signing.

He did it a few times in one of the past games, I think the Houston game where Kuminga kind of throws a mini tantrum throwing his hands up and pounding the floor with his feet a few times towards Rudy. One time Rudy wasn't there to back him up when he got beat, another time Rudy wasn't where he wanted him. Edit it was the Pelicans game, here were the ones that came to mind.

Got the job done and put them down when it counted.

I'm excited to see if the team can pad the win column.

I didn't notice that, but if so, it's a bad look for JK. Rudy put up 10/15 with some real man rebounds, while JK had 4 points, NO rebounds, and a team worst -10. I love what JK has brought to this team, but there's no excuse for that kind of crap...especially when he's having a shitty night.

It was in the 4th where Rudy wasn’t in the correct spot on offense. By far JK worst game this year.

I also don’t want to overreact to things because I don’t know there relationship, that might be how they communicate

Ugh...you don't expect to win when you have 18 assists and 20 turnovers. But then again, we were playing a minor league club, and we did enough to win. Kudos to the bench for bringing this one home...it helped that they had 7 assists and only 2 turnovers. Not much of a box score for Clark, but similar to last year, we're now 5-1 when he gets 15+ minutes.

We're handling Ant's absence pretty well so far with a 5-2 record...we were 12-9 without him last season, so we have shown we can win without him before. Still, if he's going to be out until Christmas, it's nice to know 12 of the remaining 19 games he'll miss will be at home. Now we get a few days off at home before playing Dallas...it will be helpful to get a few practices in, and maybe we'll play a less sloppy game against a better opponent.
