Ugh, Indiana just refused to lose

I hate seeing those once in a career games against the Wolves. Seen too many.

He's a 33% 3-point shooter this year on 3.5 attempts per game. He goes 7-10 against us.

Those games happen because of piss poor effort and a hell of a lot of isolated basketball. Right when you think we figured it out and we pull this bs.

I gotta give Indiana and Rick Carlisle credit. Those guys played their assess off, moved the ball well, and made some lucky shots along the way. That combined with Finch/Ant's stupidity and the 1st half blues by all our guys cost us the game.

Finch needs to stop giving Ant the ball to try to be the hero.


It's not as if there's some freakish return to the mean coming. 4 seconds left, drive and kick and live with Reid or DDV or whoever taking the shot.

I can’t be too down on this loss. Our 1st half energy and focus gave Indiana hope. Amazing shot making gave them the win in OT.

On to the next game.

Ant, Jaden and Naw shot 2-20 from 3 tonight

Just sucks that the nuggets sat their whole team so going to be two games back with 12 to go

Yep, a smart team would have won this game in spite of Toppin's heroics. We just can't help reverting to isolation and poor decision making. This one pisses me off.
