Thunder 113, Timberwolves 105: A Valiant Effort Falls Short

The Timberwolves played well a majority of the game, but 15 missed free throws and multiple turnovers late doomed them.

"The next time you’re watching a game where Minnesota has a lead that feels a little too close for comfort, rest assured that Jaden McDaniels is now capable of picking up that slack."

Great stuff from @bennyhughesnba.bsky.social

Big to get this first one in the 3 game series, NY’s chances of sniping the one seed just went exponentially down.

The Lynx off the ball defensive awareness is SO good
August 10, 2025 at 5:55 PM
Maria Kliundikova has been impressive on both ends since she was inserted into the rotation. Seems like she has a few big swing plays per game.
August 10, 2025 at 5:12 PM
Loving Dijonai Carrington’s attention to detail getting to watch her more closely. Cutting has been great.
August 10, 2025 at 4:52 PM
Loving the Lynx pace early on here, the more transition and semi-transition opportunities the better when you don’t have your first option

Another thought re: Julius Randle

I wonder what a fully healthy offseason does for his ability to hit the ground running. I feel like people often forget about his shoulder injury that held him out the second half of the season and playoffs with the Knicks.
June 29, 2025 at 6:35 PM
I like the Randle contract and feel that’s a good price to bank on the late season/playoff success to give them the whole year with that continuity.

Obviously OKC is still the team to beat, but I like the bet on internal growth from the young crew plus Ant/Jaden/Naz
