Wolves 129, Pacers 120
No postgame pod tonight. Super Bowl.
But I will have @Matt Moore on the pod tomorrow — to talk about this Wolves defense of late and why he’s been heavy on the Wolves over all year. – 5:26 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
The Pacers missed 57 shots tonight and offensive rebounded 22 of them. Terrible.
The Wolves have ranked dead-last in the NBA in defensive rebound rate the entire season. – 5:25 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers fall to the Timberwolves 129-120, held to 22pts in the fourth quarter.
Many good performances, led by Anthony Edwards’ 37pts. Haliburton had 22-5-16, Brissett with 22/13, Lance scored 21 and Jalen Smith added 17/12.
Up next: Tues. at Milwaukee. – 5:25 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Final score: Timberwolves 129, Pacers 120. Haliburton had 22 and 16 while Lance Stephenson and Oshae Brissett also reached 20 points. But the Pacers defense just couldn’t do enough. Two more games til the All-Star break. – 5:25 PM StatMuse @statmuse

Ant has had big game this year, of course.
Very rarely, though, are they dominant end-to-end — little extended lulls here and there. Tonight he was dominant end-to-end.
In a game the Wolves defense begged to lose, Anthony Edwards saved it with his offense — 37 points tonight. – 5:24 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

Tyrese Haliburton has the 5th 20+ points and 15+ assists game in Pacers history. He joins Jalen Rose, Vern Flemming, Jeff Teague, and Ricky Sobers as the only guys to do it for the franchise. – 5:22 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

Anthony Edwards will be one of the main candidates for the 2022-23 KIA MVP trophy. He takes his game into another level. And he’s just in the beginning. #raisedbywolves – 5:19 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Tyrese Haliburton has 22pts and 16 assists, and notably 6 of his 7 FGs have been from range. And several have been five feet off the line. Wow. – 5:19 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

Heading to the fourth quarter, the @Minnesota Timberwolves lead 102-98.
Edwards leads all with 31 points, on 11-21 shooting and 6-11 from deep, his second straight 30+ point game. Tonight marks the first time in his career that he’s tallied consecutive 30+ point games. – 4:55 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Minnesota had a lead as high as 18 at times in the third quarter, but the Pacers stuck with it and locked in on defense during the frame and cut the lead to 4. It’s 102-98 with 12 minutes to go. Haliburton has 16 points and 13 assists. – 4:55 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
I wanna see this Pacers team with Myles Turner. They’re pretty fun. – 4:54 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Tyrese Haliburton with his second turnover. He whipped a pass that hit Tristan Thompson in the head and went out of bounds. #Pacers – 4:54 PM John Hollinger @johnhollinger
So awesome that one day a year we Americans can set aside our differences for an evening, sit down as a nation and watch the T-wolves and Pacers play. – 4:53 PM Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
The Timberwolves led by 18 in this quarter. They lead by 4 at the end of it. And it might be worse if not for 31 from Anthony Edwards. – 4:53 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers

A little defense going a long way for the Pacers right now. Minnesota has 6 points in the last 5 minutes of action and the Pacers have cut the lead to 3. – 4:48 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers

Pacers’ defense still weak, guys still getting hurt, offense still too stagnant… but Haliburton is really, really good. – 4:47 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Haliburton has 14 points and 13 assists. He’s controlling the offense with ease. #Pacers – 4:46 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Tyrese Haliburton with a 3 and the #Pacers have cut the lead to 93-85. – 4:44 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness

Timeout Indiana as the @Minnesota Timberwolves lead 84-67 with 9:12 left in the third quarter.
Four of the five starters are in double-figure scoring today, led by Edwards’ 19 points, approaching his third straight 20+ point game (32nd this season). – 4:34 PM Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers starting Jalen Smith in the second half in place of Chris Duarte, who’s ruled out for the game with a sore big left toe. He’s not on the bench.
Defense has been the issue. 74pts they allowed in the 1H was just shy of a season record by an opponent. Hawks had 76 last week. – 4:30 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves
up a dozen at the break pic.twitter.com/HNAEJCUDOE – 4:30 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Pacers start the second half with Buddy Hield at the 2, Oshae Brissett at the 3, and Jalen Smith at the 4 with Duarte injured. Interesting shuffle. Basically any young guy + Haliburton minutes are worth monitoring the rest of this season. – 4:29 PM Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR
Minnesota outscored Indiana in the second quarter 41-25 to take a 74-62 lead at the half.
It marks the 10th 40+ point quarter (3rd 40+ point second quarter) the @Minnesota Timberwolves have had this season, the second-most in team history (13 times, 2019-20). – 4:28 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers

When Anthony Edwards’ confidence is peaking, you can tell because he goes into the post for post up opportunities.
Ant with 15 points, 4 boards and 3 assists, +16 in the first half.
Wolves 74, Pacers 62 – 4:13 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Oshae Brissett buries a corner 3 at the buzzer on a pass from Lance Stephenson, but the refs say it was a tad too late.
T-Wolves lead 74-62 at halftime. Brissett with 18 points. Tyrese Haliburton with eight points, 10 assists and four rebounds. #Pacers – 4:13 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

Timberwolves lead the Pacers 74-62 at the half. Pacers defense has been… not great these last two games. Brissett has 18, Lance has 11, and Haliburton has 10 assists, but it won’t matter if the Pacers keep letting teams hit 50% from deep. – 4:13 PM Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Naz Reid a +21 in the first half. – 4:12 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Wolves outscored the Pacers by 20 in the 9 minutes that Jordan McLaughlin played in the first half. – 4:12 PM Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves

Tyrese Haliburton with 10 assists in the first half. He’s three away from tying the #Pacers‘ record for dimes in any half, per @Tony East. He’d be tied with T.J. McConnell, Domantas Sabonis and Jamaal Tinsley.

For the 30th time in Pacers history, a player has 10 assists in a half. Tyrese Haliburton just hit that mark.
The record for a half is 13 (McConnell, Sabonis, and Tinsley all did it once). – 4:03 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Chris Duarte is out for the rest of the game with a sore left big toe. #Pacers – 4:00 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
One of my favorite things with Chris Finch’s rotations is he lets the hot-hand, any hot-hand, run.

Haliburton has 8 assists already in this game. Some real tidy passes from a guy who has only been on the team for about 5 days. Pacers down 7, though. – 3:51 PM Minnesota Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR

Oshae Brissett with 11 points, Lance Stephenson with 8. – 3:40 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
That bucket as time expired is a good example of Anthony Edwards growing understanding of working with the clock.
That was a real problem end of quarter his rookie year.
One big thing with Ant this year is his basketball IQ has definitely grown. – 3:39 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers

The new-look Pacers are fast starters. They’re up 37-33 on Minnesota after one quarter. Brissett leads the way with 11 points, he hit a trio of 3s. – 3:39 PM Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
Timberwolves trail the Pacers 37-33 at the end of the first quarter. Defense not magically cured. Rotations are all over the place among the starting group and guys are running free. Offense turned it over 6 times. – 3:39 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Jalen Smith is 3-for-4 on 3s in his first two games with the #Pacers. Shooting with confidence for a guy who is a career 26.2% 3-pointer shooter. – 3:38 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid

I try to keep Chris Duarte’s quotes as raw as possible for my stories. Sometimes he’s self-conscious about his English, but there’s no shame in the imperfections.
One time @PatBoylanPacers reminded Chris that his English is still better than our Spanish. 😂

KAT over 1.5 made 3s

Brissett over 20.5 pts + rebs + asts
– Plays like Javonte Green from the Bulls
Hailburton over 2 made FTs
– Wolves foul rate
Bitadze under 16.5 pts + rebs + asts
– Could get played off floor – 1:58 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Forgot to share this from yesterday. But Tyrese Haliburton’s father, John, is a high school referee. So I asked him if they ever disagree on calls.

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch says Tyrese Haliburton is “really growing into a dangerous player.”
Noted that he was in Houston when James Harden became a full-blown star and sees a similar opportunity for Haliburton with the #Pacers. – 1:40 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Anthony Edwards in IN today against Indiana – 1:36 PM Tony East @TEastNBA
Anthony Edwards in IN for Minnesota today. He will play against the Pacers. – 1:35 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Chris Finch says Anthony Edwards (left patella tendinopathy) is IN tonight. #Pacers – 1:35 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Thought this would be a great KAT matchup today against the Pacers, who, similar to the Bulls, don’t have anyone to check KAT. Just Goga Bitadze and Isaiah Jackson.
But now, with Jackson being ruled out, we’re going to see Tristan Thompson play. KAT v. Tristan… – 1:34 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Rick Carlisle describes Tyrese Haliburton as “a piece that would fit in any puzzle.” #Pacers – 1:29 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Also, Terry Taylor is available today after missing the last game due to a non-COVID-19 illness. #Pacers – 1:26 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Rick Carlisle says the #Pacers have to take care of the ball against the Timberwolves, who have one of the most explosive offenses in the league. – 1:25 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Rick Carlisle says he hasn’t heard anything about Malcolm Brogdon’s status. Doubts that he will play today. Brogdon’s been out with a sore right Achilles. #Pacers – 1:21 PM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Hey, #iubb fans, do you remember former Maryland star Jalen Smith? The guy who taunted you all after the Terps staged a comeback win against the Hoosiers in 2020? Lol of course you do.
Well, he’s back in Indiana after the #Pacers traded for him. indystar.com/story/sports/n… – 1:13 PM Indiana Pacers @Pacers

No idea if it’s a record, but Nikola Jokic having 3 game-saving blocks in the last 6 seconds of games in one season is kind of crazy.
Throw in Barton’s vs. Minnesota (https://t.co/o3T7UvulZ8) & the Nuggets have 4 as a team. pic.twitter.com/oJa1eUut3P – 9:52 AM James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
#Pacers injury report: Isaiah Jackson (right ankle sprain) is OUT today against the Timberwolves. Malcolm Brogdon (sore right Achilles) is questionable.
Myles Turner, T.J. Warren, T.J. McConnell and Ricky Rubio are all OUT. – 9:43 AM Indiana Pacers @Pacers
