Minnesota had 7 turnovers in Q1. Too many.

OKC won the rebounding battle 10-5. They had 5 off reb to Minny's 3 def reb. They outrebounded Minny on their own glass.

Minnesota losing the possession battle. OKC a +4 possessions in turnovers and another +5 possessions in rebounds. 9 extra possessions in Q1 alone. That is where their 7 point lead is.

Randle 12min 2pts 2ast. 3 turnovers.
Ant 12min 2pts 1ast. 1 turnover.

Minny's stars need to step up. They are letting their teammates down. They are being carried so far. Minnesota's supporting cast keeping them within striking distance. But their stars needs to show up!

2 more offensive rebounds for OKC.
3 more turnovers for Minnesota.

Minny keep giving away possessions.

Minny's hot shooting is keepin them in the game. They are shooting 65% FG% 17-26 FGA including 7-13 3PTA. Unfortunately for them, OKC are shooting lights out as well. So that possession difference is the difference in this game.

SGA flopping all over the place.  :P

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Minny's bench - Naz, Donte, NAW, T Shannon - have 28pts of Minny's 49pts. J McDaniels has another 10pts. That is 38 of their 49pts.

Wolves need more from Randle consistently if they want to have a chance this series

T-Wolves are lucky to still be in this game.

It was a close game but Ant and Randle really hurt them tonight. Needed more from them. Everyone else contributed a lot. OKC should end this on Wednesday at home now

I?d be absolutely stunned if the thrunder didn?t win on Wednesday, this series is over- been over.

Close one in Indy.  I only watched the last 8 minutes of the half and it looks like a dogfight to me.  Indy is far less impressive than they seemed v Cleveland.  They squeaked out the two wins in NY and blew the 20 point lead in Game 3.  And now it looks like anyone?s series. I know the Knicks are in trouble if they lose tonight but they look a little better than Indy right now.

Great start to the third by Indy.  Up 12.

Nesmith isn?t just an OK role player in this series. He?s a force. Might be Pacers third most effective player.

Brunson's and SGA's foul-baiting are stains on the NBA. It's become virtually the entire conversation about these playoffs instead of the actual play.

The SGA stuff is particularly egregious given how much contact his team gets away with defensively.
