Really nice defense by Joan on Banchero on that last possession. He challenged his shot, aggressively disrupted his rhythm but avoided fouling him.

The bench has just been fantastic tonight

Great defense by TSJ forced the offensive foul.

Agree. We’re seeing something like the “40-minutes of hell” defense from back in the day in Arkansas under coach Nolan Richardson. That’s 48 minutes of hell in the NBA

And Corliss Williamson isn't even with the team anymore!

Trey was robbed by the rim on that last three attempt

Melo was fouled on that play. The Magic are fouling constantly now. They’re desperate. The officials need to watch this closely. The way they’re playing I’m afraid someone on the Wolves might get hurt.

His defense is night and day from a year ago. It really makes his offensive ups and downs more tolerable.

I’m not seeing downs from Shannon so far in these two games.

JK’s getting a sense of Rudy’s terrible hands.

Good time out by Finchy.
