Unfortunately, Ant has also shut Ant down. Six of his eight shots are from three and he's made none of them. Get to the rim. Get to the free throw line. Attack. He hasn't done that enough. Stop settling against a team that doesn't have their rim protector in the game because of foul trouble.
Down by 14 entering the final quarter after getting outscored 38-20. They played too well in the first half to come out and get stomped like that. I get that Golden State hasn't missed, but someone has to stop the bleeding. Ant's 1-8. Malik's 1-8. D-Lo's 3-10. Jaylen's 4-12. Minnesota's second-highest scorer tonight is Jaden. That tells you all you need to know.
Well, I'll be damned. Minnesota goes on a 10-0 run to start the fourth and it's a six point game. Josh Okogie's in the game and even made a three. Taurean Prince got a layup. Ant finally put his head down and scored a couple layups. Golden State is playing Nemanja Bjelica at the five. ATTACK.
