15 Game Gauntlet Comes To An End - Celtics at Wolves GDT

The Wolves will survive their 15-game gauntlet with either a 9-6 or 10-5 record. 10-5 is obviously preferred. But either way, I doubt we would have had such robust predictions if we took a poll for the next 15 games after that Sacramento loss. Nice job by the Wolves. They need to carry that momentum into the remainder of January and start stacking up some wins.

Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis are both listed as questionable. This should be a nice little test for the Wolves as they head off for a stretch of very winnable games. Let's see if the so-called PIVOT is complete. I'll be anxious to see if we can keep our turnovers under 15...

Wolves need to take advantage and get a dub

Boston missing a bunch of 3s, and some occasional ball movement by the starters is being helpful!

Boston is on the front end of a back-to-back. Maybe a blowout leads to an early white flag? (that’s a jinx, BTW)

Maybe the Wolves should push the ball more to let Ant cook without the defense getting set.

Ball movement leads to 2 open corner threes that are actually converted.

When Randle and Jaden are making 3's, the offense comes easy since no one guards them out there! Keep it up!

Minott's ability to cut to the basket is a difference maker going forward. That is a skill that none of the starters seem to have.

Is this fun to watch? That's a lot of 3s being attempted.

Uggh, bad call on that Ant turnover.
