lol i dont think so

wolves offense right now is completely lost. Way too many possessions ending with prince with the ball w 4 seconds left on the shot clock and nowhere to go

major dilemma for the lakers here as lebron does not believe in 2 for 1s

As @TimBontemps has been tracking all night, the Timberwolves have now made nine more 3-pointers than the Lakers (16-7). Teams that hit nine more 3s than their opponents were 50-4 (.926) during the regular season.

since I have to root for the lakers, then winning despite lebron fouling out is actually the best thing that could happen

the wolves have been scoreless for like 6 minutes

whole team shook

Hilarious 4th quarter

adam silver should descend from the rafters and say "ive seen enough. neither team may go to the playoffs" and exit unstaples to a chorus of lusty boos

beautiful drive n kick

Oh god they’re gonna force Lebron to shoot it here

Ok fine that was cool

WOOOOOWWWWWWWWW

anthony davis playing the role of KAT

MF CLUTCHHH

was thinking that too but looks like he landed safely in his zone then brow ran him over after

can the wolves make another actual basket or....

4th quarter was 19-12 lakers, oof

shook vs cooked

hilarious end of regulation I love the play ins

some ugly basketball bit i can’t stop watching

This is so funny

its wonderful

that... was not a travel on ant

this is like an ncaa tournament game

not sure i’d want taurean prince taking that shot for me

shoulda taken the open dunk

d lo back on the court for that possession reminding me he’s been benched for like the entirety of the 4th Q and OT

revenge game

cant believe the heat ruined the only good lowry game theyve gotten from him in 2 years

fell alseep but it doesnt sound like that second game was of the highest quality basketball

rough night for the lad

You know I said I thought the hawks had the best center duo in the league for a reason

watching highlights wow fouling on the 3 with .1 left incredible

it looked like if he had tried davis couldve avoided the foul instead he turned around to watch the shot and just wiped conley out

brow ultimately is just not a true baller

yea it was pretty stunning given the situation, no time to set up a decent shot all you have to do is not foul. not only did he foul it was one of those fouls that didn't even really affect the shot. props to Conley for making all 3 in that scenario, mentally I think a lot of players would've been shook as hell in that situation. too bad the Wolves didn't win in OT, would've been a hilarious way for the Lakers to lose

lol yeah too bad

lakers grizz is an interesting match up youd think the grizz young legs will win out but if not could be close lakers are actually kind of good since the deadline deals, lakers despite being old actually play a fast pace prob to overcoming their shooting deficiency get those easy transition baskets, grizz also play fast and have bad halfcourt offense when theyre not getting offensive rebound and their main offensive rebounder is out, will be interesting to see what happens when transition opportunities dry up like they usually do in the offs could get ugly
