First game in a while that I am watching start to finish. Off to a strong start.

Rubio with a great start. Team is killed around the rim though. Dieng and KAT are too damn weak sometimes.

As much as I want to believe Rubio has figured it all out the change was so sudden and so dramatic that I just can't get over feeling like it's just a mirage. At this point I would have expected pigs to fly before Rubio became even a competent shooter, much less a true threat.

Somebody pinch me.

If this keeps up the Big3 will need to be reordered to KAT, Rubio, then Wiggins...

Wolves haven't played much defense after San Antonio game. It seems that trend is not changing today.

Just awful defense again. This team locked down for about two weeks this season and that was it. By far the biggest disappointment on the season has been the lack of defensive improvement.

I think it's a combination of both being hot and some legit improvement picking up where he left off last season. Go back and look at his TS% last season vs. the first few years of his career - it was a career high. I think the fact he started off the year so tentative and so cold somehow made people forget that he wasn't THAT terrible before.

Belly was a part of that solid defense...

Why the hell is Tyus shooting the tech?!? He has been very average from the FT line this season...

Lakers have 50 points with 7 minutes left in the half. Pathetic!
