no gobert, no jaden, on the road vs. lebron and anthony davis in a huge game that would yield minnesota a rematch against the banged up grizzlies in round 1, and karl is the best player by a decent margin. 17, 6, 4, 2 blocks, 1 turnover, only 2 fouls. hasn’t missed a shot, is +23 – 11:20 PM

Two quick fouls on Karl Anthony-Towns here. Minnesota’s suffering from a serious lack of depth in the frontcourt with Gobert’s suspension and Naz Reid’s injury.
LAL within 6 with 6:14 to play in the 2nd Q. – 11:00 PM

Anthony Davis has had a field day against the Timberwolves this season even with Rudy Gobert playing. With Gobert suspended, the Lakers are going to dominate the glass thoroughly and force Anthony Edwards and KAT to be even more efficient without FTs pic.twitter.com/qlXdgkRsK5 – 10:11 PM

Chris Finch was asked pregame about his team’s ability to kind of summon something extra this season after rough patches and what has allowed them to do that.
With a smile, Finch said, “We have a fighters.” – 8:44 PM

I was tied up when the whole Gobert-Anderson thing happened, so I just wanted to say I’m a little disappointed that no one from Grizz Twitter pointed out that Mike Conley is experienced in breaking up tussles when it was reported that he was a big voice in Minny’s locker room. – 5:22 PM

I know a lot of Wolves fans have soured on Chris Finch this year, mostly for the indicators that this team lacks discipline/maturity (obviously getting hard to argue). But from a ingenuity and Xs and Os standpoint, feels like the Wolves have a massing coaching advantage tonight. – 3:43 PM
