For a team as dangerous as the Wolves are offensively, and for as experienced as they are in clutch time/important situations, players just make too many inexcusable mental errors.

Randle, Gobert, Edwards are all to blame.

Wholly disappointing collapse in OT.
Wolves' offensive discipline since they got up 9 has been horrendous.

None of Ant/Randle/Jaden trying to go down hill

Denver led 106-91 after a Nikola Jokić bucket with 5:54 to play in the 4Q

It's a 33-9 Wolves run since then

Anthony Edwards has 20 of them
December 26, 2025 at 6:20 AM
Anthony Edwards has to be the most wanted man in Denver
December 26, 2025 at 6:18 AM
Donte DiVincenzo has come up with damn near every 50/50 ball in his vicinity in the second half and overtime

Taking notes for a solo live show on a night like this is impossible 😂😭

DDV/McDaniels/Conley/Shannon:

- 8 points
- 4/4 2PT
- 0/9 3PT
- 4/13 FG

Wolves desperately need something from any of those four if they want to make a run and get back into it
December 26, 2025 at 5:35 AM
Anthony Edwards is 0/4 on jump shots since he hurt his shoulder in the first quarter and none of them have really come close to finding the bottom of the net.

Does not look comfortable whatsoever
December 26, 2025 at 5:29 AM
One of the worst off-ball defensive games of the season for the Timberwolves

Going to get shredded in the film room
December 26, 2025 at 5:18 AM
Challenge pending, but Minnesota will be in the bonus for the final 8:11 of the third quarter.

Getting into the teeth of a weak Nuggets interior will be important while the Wolves try to find it from 3 (6/25, 24%).
December 26, 2025 at 5:09 AM
It's been a night to forget defensively for Julius Randle, who fell asleep guarding Jamal Murray one-pass away from Nikola Jokić.

12-4 Nuggets run to open the 2H pushes their lead out to a game-high 10.
December 26, 2025 at 5:05 AM
Timberwolves in the first half

Rudy Gobert ON (13:54)
- 112.9 ORTG | 73.3 DRTG | +39.6 NET | +13
- Jokić: 9 PTS on 2/3 FG, 0 OREB, 1 AST

Rudy Gobert OFF (10:06)
- 95.2 ORTG | 159.1 DRTG | -63.9 NET | -15
- Jokić: 14 PTS on 6/7 FG, 3 OREB, 6 AST

That's the story.
December 26, 2025 at 4:50 AM
Nikola Jokić scored or assisted on 40 of the Nuggets' 57 first half points

They were a +11 with him on the floor, -13 with him off

Rudy Gobert was a +13 in 14 minutes -- 7 boards and 3 blocks -- but was in foul trouble with 3 personals

Can't win if Rudy isn't out there
December 26, 2025 at 4:44 AM
Julius Randle just knocked down his second 3-pointer of the half

Tonight is the first time he's made 2+ triples in a game since December 14 against the Kings

He had shot 2/16 over his previous 4 games
December 26, 2025 at 4:40 AM
If Randle is going to play the 5 he has to at least try to box out Jokić and be physical with him.

He's one of the only dudes in the league who has similar strength and physicality to battle with Joker down low. He can't be a ball-watcher when the shot goes up
December 26, 2025 at 4:37 AM
Nuggets shot 2/10 for 6 points with 2 turnovers in the 5:17 that Jokić sat to start the 2Q.

Wolves won those minutes 15-6 -- also the non-Ant minutes.

Need Edwards + Randle to get active w/ Rudy to the bench with 3 fouls

Rudy Gobert having another performance that lives up to his Hall of Fame caliber.

Nuggets getting nothing easy with him on the floor. 7 boards and 3 blocks, with several more shots contested.

On arguably his best run of games in a Wolves uniform
December 26, 2025 at 4:25 AM
8 stocks in what was an active defensive quarter for the Wolves in the opening 6 minutes before Nikola Jokić just dominated the final 6 minutes

Rudy Gobert has 2 blocks, while Anthony Edwards has 3 steals
December 26, 2025 at 4:15 AM
Nuggets have zero rim protection in the lineup tonight and the Wolves haven't even tried to get inside and attack the rim.

Has to change if Minnesota wants to control things offensively
December 26, 2025 at 4:09 AM
Cool to see the Wolves' coaching staff wearing Christmas themed AE2s on the sideline tonight
December 26, 2025 at 4:02 AM
Anthony Edwards being arguably the most explosive wing in the league and then becoming a good enough 3-point shooter that teams jump at nearly every shot fake is pretty awesome.

All of his 3-point looks + fouls drawn have come off of a pump fake to clear space.

Amped for a great nightcap to NBA Christmas with Ant/Jokić in Denver.

I'll be live right after the final buzzer to break it all down on the Locked on Wolves YouTube!
