The boys are taking care of business in Houston tonight up 26 with 5 minutes left. Really solid game by Kat and Ant. Reid too. Kat has 22-8-6. Ant 24-2-4. Wolves shooting 53% field and 44% from 3. Rudy had 13 and 12.
A fun game really never in doubt. All the starters played around 33 minutes which is perfect.

I only half watched the game, but lil mac with a +19 in 13 minutes is nice.

Good energy and effort throughout this one. The Rockets are a good home team and a top end defense and the Wolves outplayed them. Wolves now 8-5 on their tough 16 game stretch with 3 more good teams to go on the road.
The bench was really good as they maintained and pushed the lead at times.

I only half watched the game, but lil mac with a +19 in 13 minutes is nice. JMac is showing how helpful more IQ is on the court further convincing me that trading for another PG is the way to go. Love JMac, but need a version of him that can play in the playoffs.
Also, not sure why Finch is now playing JMac, but still has stretches where neither Conley or JMac are out there? I get that JMac might get exposed in more minutes, but he's also playing him with Conley at times (which I don't mind with the right matchup). I'd think you'd want as many minutes with one of them out there as much as possible.

Love the idea of more Lil Mac and Conley for when we can't seem to make smart plays. Get everybody in their position, back where they need to be, coordinate the plays. We're not good when we try to let people flow freely, but when we run plays, we're damn near impossible to beat

This win looks even better with Rockets beating the bucks the next night- a back to back road win. And 76ers go down to the Jazz. Beating the Mavs won’t be easy but it’s a good matchup for Wolves.
