Typical Wolves game...frustratingly exciting. They finally came up with a few stops at the end of the game and Crawford kinda went nuts. Butler made his free throws. And Wiggins got a key strip in what otherwise would have been an easy layup.

Still....My god, we gave up like a gazillion percent eFG%. The defense is still a loooong ways from good enough.

Tends to happen when opposing centers shoot a crazy percentage against.

Then or wings start looking to help, then the opposing guards get that half step they need to get in the paint or get a 3.

Weren't the Wolves like 0-82 when they allow the opposition to shoot better than 57-percent? Did we make it 1-82 tonight? I forgot to check.

I was thinking similarly. Portland hit 10 3's which is their season average. It feels sorta like a win though with Dame and CJ. In addition they took only 5 FTs which they made all of them, They had 17 turnovers. I'm not suggesting the defense was good because it wasn't but I think it was a bit better than the FG% would say. It was good to get some stops late anyway. Did Ed Davis score a point on a shot that wasn't an offensive rebound? Which also goes back you your point. Ed Davis...that guy in a league that has gone small has been a straight up beast this year.

By the way, we beat Portland, and Denver also lost. Celebrate!

Yup 1-82

Crawford, the streak breaker.

Another crazy stat the wolves moved to 10-615 in games talking by 10 or more with 8 minutes to go in the game since '98.

That is crazy

Fire Thibs we barely won.
