Ant with ZERO turnovers...Finch quote in post game presser " you can't turn it over if you just shoot"
Wolves fan commiserate here!

Exactly...good win though. We'll need to be better to beat the Spurs tomorrow. Wemby is terrific, but they're 5-1 without him.
At least it was mostly missed shots instead of turnovers. One bad turnover by Donte. We got some clean looks and missed, and guys passed up clean looks to get worse looks.AussieWolf3 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 29, 2025 7:16 pm Well I won't say it's an unimpressive win, but my God the clutch time...

Hunting 3s in that situation tho was so pointless. Run actions to generate some 2 point looks; they had a 10 point lead and kept looking for a kill shot insteadrapsuperstar31 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 29, 2025 7:29 pmAt least it was mostly missed shots instead of turnovers.

Yeah, here were the Wolves offensive possessions starting at the 110-100 mark:rapsuperstar31 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 29, 2025 7:29 pmAt least it was mostly missed shots instead of turnovers.

It really didn't feel the same as the previous losses. Maybe seeing Clark on the floor at the end was a good sign.Q-is-here wrote: ↑Sat Nov 29, 2025 8:07 pmYeah, here were the Wolves offensive possessions starting at the 110-100 mark:rapsuperstar31 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 29, 2025 7:29 pmAt least it was mostly missed shots instead of turnovers.

3:08 - Boston makes 2 pt basket: Wolves 110-Celtics 102
2:43 - Missed DDV shot from 3 - it was a good look.
2:41 - Boston makes 2 FTAs: Wolves 110-104
2:19 - Julius misses step back 3....Not a great look, but not a turnover either. So improvement for Julius? LOL.
2:08 - Boston makes 3 pt basket: 110-107
1:46 - Naz misses 3 point shot....Not a bad look for Naz.
1:38 - Boston makes 3 pt basket: 110-110 - ALL TIED UP
1:20 - Ant misses 3 pt shot, Wolves offensive rebound, and swing pass to wide open Conley made 3: 113-110
:57 - Boston misses 3 pt basket
:44 - Ant gets fouled and makes both FTAs: Wolves 115-110
:37 - Boston fouled on 3 pt attempt, makes 2 of 3: 115-112
:14 - Ant fumbles ball and then takes ill-advised 3 point shot that goes in: 118-112. Game basically over at this point.
I'd give our crunch time offense starting at the 3-minute mark a B or B+. I didn't always like the shot-selection, but the Wolves did a decent job eating clock and most importantly not turning the ball over.
Unfortunately I agree with your assessments, Cool - although I'm not sold on a trade being necessary yet -Coolbreeze44 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 29, 2025 9:24 pm I don't like the team right now. I don't see cohesion or a collective effort for 48 minutes. Our best player is proving to be a scorer and not someone who makes the players around him better. Our 2nd highest scorer is a bit of a fraud. We don't seem to have a sustainable identity that we can count on from game to game. I hope we make a trade soon.
