Just witnessed the biggest choke in Timberwolves timeout game history. The matching game. All buddy had to do was flip over the final two matching squares in 7 seconds and he couldn’t do it because he couldn’t find the right ones. – 8:21 PM

Flat start for the Wolves, which isn’t surprising with Beverley and Vanderbilt both out.
Edwards takes it to the cup to try to get them going – 8:13 PM

Lindy Waters III was playing for the TBL’s Enid Outlaws less than a year ago. He was facing the Little Rock Lightning, Lewisville Leopards and Waco Royals.
Now he’s starting an NBA game. Pretty cool story for the Norman kid. – 7:44 PM

Daigneault said Tre Mann sprained his ankle last night from stepping on a fan’s foot. Doesn’t sound like it’ll be a long-term injury. – 6:51 PM

KAT has only made four 3s in a game once in the past 26 games.
Last night, Giannis had four made 3s against OKC, who the Wolves play tonight.
KAT is on a really effective offensive run in that time — dominating with the drive. If he brings the 3 back in to the mix, whew… – 5:37 PM

Tre Mann is listed as OUT tonight due to an ankle injury.
He came back and played well after he got hurt, but the team is likely being cautious on a back to back.
SGA gotta go for 40 to make up the difference. – 2:44 PM
