#TakeRoot
Keys to Win- Big and physical team who looks to post up across the board (3rd in Post Offense - Wolves 30th in post defense). I'm interested to see the strategy for Wolves today!
Defense: vs Magic (Off Ratting - 18th)
(112.2 DefRtg Overall - Rank #9)
- We have been really focused on defense and this is the first time the defensive rating has been ranked higher than offensive!
Keys to Win- Physical team, need to space and be willing to share the basketball early and often!
Offense: vs Magic (Def rating - 13th)
(116.5 OffRtg Overall - Rank #10)
- Haven't shot ball well from 3 over this winning streak, but finding ways to score enough to win games. Last two games have had Great flow in the halfcourt.
Croonch Time Report: 37-23 (Rank #7 Net Rtg)
Vs Magic (38-28)(#16 Net)

Defense:
- Incredible job of playing with activity and we did what we do best - create turnovers! And we did it against a team that does not do that often!

Offense:
- We were not ready for their gameplan coming in, but we adjusted well. Bench brought a great energy, but most importantly, Shoutout to Donte! Dude made so many huge plays!

Naz reminds me of an equestrian horse
Perfect combo of size and elegance
Finchy only challenged that to send the clip to the NBA to prove a point
I just think back to last year there were many times where Wolves fans were like "Ant needs to step up on offense". It is very hard to be the best player on the court on both ends. There is only 3 guys who could do that constantly (Jordan, LeBron, and Russell)
We just need him to do enough
Against the number one offense in the league, that was an awesome half! After the first QTR, we jumped to the ball better and forced more iso which we will win that battle against this team.
You can see the value of Ayo just for having another guy to guard Murray (or a SGA).
He is but yes defense needs to be better
I mean, he is getting face guarded and doubled on the catch haha
Bones Hyland is not scared of Jonas Valanciunas
Reason why it is so tough against them is that Jokic is lowkey good at blocking shots or at least being a clog. They just pack it in and go under everything and sag off on ball. We don't see it a ton. Takes awhile to work through and get feel.
the Caruso strategy
Vibes: Don't get swept
- We can't get swept by the Nuggets. Period. Need this one!
Streak: 2 (Longest streak = 5)

#TakeRoot
Keys to Win- One of the best PNR teams in the league if not the best and we have struggled defending PNR. Depending on matchups, we need strong and active hand ball pressure and connectivity on pick actions. Requires, lots of communication.
Defense: vs Nuggets (Off Ratting - 1st)
(112.4 DefRtg Overall - Rank #8)
- We have been really focused on defense and have played with a ton of activity on that end which has led us to this 5-1 stretch.
