Minnesota Timberwolves SURGE to Early Lead, Hang On Late to Defeat Washington Wizards
The Minnesota Timberwolves led by 25 at halftime but had to sweat out a too-close-for-comfort win over the lowly Washington Wizards despite a big Naz Reid performance. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down what happened, including the fantastic second quarter and terrible third frame for the Wolves. Plus, the inconsistencies of young players like Jaylen Clark and Rob Dillingham, and Anthony Edwards’s issues pressing during a shooting slump.

Ant Needs to figure it out if he don’t show up in Phoenix we lose that game
Edwards seem so weak this game forgot how to dribble didn't seem to want the ball. Just chucking 3s vs a shit defence. There was no fire, its like he don't care cause the refs don't give him foul calls.
Controlling the boards
Protecting the ball.
Ant drawing 3-4 defenders when on ball
Good ball movement.
32/10 from Julius and another strong game from Naz is a win 9 of 10 times.
Pushing the narrative about Rob is getting old that kid had nothing to do with the 4th quarter lapse so to say it was a roller coaster is lazy and he didn’t force not one of those 6 shots missed yes forced no!!! He was a plus 10
In 8 min Conley -10 in 25min finch is your typical old guy he has a quick hook/cry baby/stuck in his ways and I doubt he can relate to a 19-20 year old. Nonetheless do better don’t drag that kid for content
Rob , Donte, clark, naz, and rudy had a great run together in the second quarter! Thats when we were running away with the gane.
We are beating the sun on friday
I know everyone will talk smack about Rob because he missed his shots but 2 stls 4 reb 2 ast 0TO in 8 minutes is pretty good. Feels like he could have even a lot more assists this season but a lot of misses on wide open shots off his passes. Nobody talks about how Finch made him change his shot this offseason so he's building it back up
ANT was playing lazy most of the game. took bad shots. didn't look to create for his team enough. lazy on defense again. there's good ball movement when ant sits. Clark is my 3rd star. his activity on defense changes momentum.
Ant needs to play his natural position which is SG. Donte should be Ant's backup on the second unit. He should not be starting. Connelly needs to start until you can get a PG at the trade deadline. The backups should be Dillingham and Hyland .
