Orlando is much improved this year, but come on...they have so many injuries they're only dressing 10 guys tonight! This is one we have to win, because tomorrow looks like a scheduled loss in Boston. Jaden needs to put the clamps on Banchero tonight. Let's go Wolves!

Started off amazing but Ant has more fouls and turnovers than points. Slow mo guy isn’t even gaurding him making offense hard

Wolves are putting a violent beatdown on the magic, up 30 at the half

Kat is amazing

Keep this up and starters will be rested for the Celtics

We are the Rick Adelman Wolves, where even up 20, no lead is safe, so garbage time is rare.

I just got back home and see we won easily. I will probably go back and watch the game. But these blowout wins were far and few between last year, even when it seemed like we had the other team at a disadvantage. Kind of nice to get them!

Wow. What a game

An emphatic win on the road. We were just dominant in the first half and then let up a bit in the second half, but kept a comfortable lead throughout.

- Jaden with a nice bounce back game. He kept Banchero in check while contributing on the boards and offensively.

- Rudy with some of the most secure hands I've seen all year. He caught seemingly everything thrown to him. We actually punished a team for being small without it feeling forced and awkward.

- KAT played almost a perfect first half. Aggressive without the stray voltage.

- Ant was off his game. He's a tough player to manage. You can tell that he was over-correcting a bit, "Well coach, you said you wanted ball movement!", as he at times robotically swung the ball to someone that was just as covered as he was. And then when he was aggressive he turned it over a bunch. Not a good game from him.

- Great team defensive effort. Orlando with only 37 first half points. We didn't wait until the 2nd half to lock down this time.

- Why on earth Finch didn't pull everyone at around the 4-minute mark is beyond me, especially considering what's in store tomorrow. I'm not sure when the team is flying to Boston, but it is nasty out east here. Rain, snow, and high winds. They are in for a pretty long and rough flight if they are coming in tonight. All the starters except Ant played 30+ minutes...

Great win! One more game in this brutal stretch and then back to a more normal schedule. I'd say even if we lose to Boston, things worked out pretty well.

Really fun to see a completely dominant performance, especially while getting nothing from our leading scorer. Jaden was superb in defending Paulo, and the Magic had no chance inside against Rudy. We went over the magic 27-assist park (undefeated when we do) and won the rebounding battle again.

Only one more tough game during this brutal stretch (especially since the Wolves couldn't get out of Orlando last night because of the weather). We're on a near 60 win pace, and we'll still be on a 58 win pace after tonight's scheduled loss...and that's with a very soft schedule the rest of the season. Things look very bright right now.
