Chris Finch said he pulled Anthony Edwards early in the first because of defensive effort. How does Edwards respond in moments like that?
“I get mad for sure. I be wanting to say something to him. But it’s pointless. He right. Can’t do nothing but be better when I get back in.” – 1:37 AM

This was a 2-point game with 10:36 left in the second quarter … prior to Reggie Jackson’s bucket to end the first half, Timberwolves were on 36-18 run in a game ultimately decided by 18 points.
That run was fueled by Timberwolves making 5/10 3s and 9/10 FGs inside the arc. – 1:13 AM

Anthony Edwards was the first sub out of the game tonight — far earlier than he typically sits.
Chris Finch says that was due to Edwards’ defensive effort to start the game. Finch said he responded well to that.

Clippers are playing like they’re the ones on the second night of a back-to-back.
(I was def on the flight from JFK 24 hours ago, so I can relate!)
Anyways, Timberwolves are shooting 59.1% from the field and have added 7 3s to go with a 36-18 advantage in paint to lead 60-42. – 11:24 PM

Dwight Powell has played some of the best ball of his career of late. He (and Kleber) made Jokic work for his numbers tonight. Powell’s last 8. In 24 min/gm 11.6 pts-5.2 rebs, 63.6 FG, 5-8 3pt, now shooting 42.9 (12-28) from 3 this season. – 11:21 PM

Justise Winslow finished a fast break that he started with a steal, but Clippers on wrong side of a 7-0 Timberwolves run and now in a 43-30 hole with 6:39 left in first half.

A bad stint between timeouts for Clippers, as they scored only once in 8 possessions.
The Timberwolves sell out to force turnovers, and LA is obliging, allowing 7 points off of 7 turnovers.
24-15 Timberwolves lead with 2:31 left in opening quarter. – 10:58 PM

Chris Finch said pregame that he needed to do a better job of blending lineups so as to get offense to sustain when they go to the bench.
The tweak we’re seeing tonight is having Anthony Edwards be the first sub out so as to be back in with the second unit. The DLo role. – 10:56 PM

First three buckets of the game tonight go to Naz Reid — all generated by middle pick and roll

My @PrizePicks for Wolves-Clippers
Beasley over 17.5 pts
– Without KAT/DLo, a near-lock to be in this range
Bledsoe over 14.5 pts
– Looked great last game, scored 15+ in 5 of last 6
Ibaka under 8.5 pts
– Really unimpressive lately
Jackson over 2.0 made FTs
– Wolves foul a lot – 9:21 PM

No Zubac or Hartenstein for the Clippers tonight — so another small frontcourt against the Wolves.
