December 11th - New Orleans Pelicans vs Minnesota Timberwolves - 12-11

The memo is out on Trey's 3 point shot, but he just did back to back fake and drive from behind the line. Smart.

Crap end to the 3rd

Naji always hits the ****-you 3

They've hit 10, we've hit 7. So yeah.

Naji does come up big at times, but I won’t lie, I’m looking forward to (hoping for) the day Dyson’s offense progresses to the point where Naji becomes expendable.

Damn near a steal there but good disruption

That was ugly

Herb seems like he’s good for at least 1 coast to coast a game

Herb is a interesting mix of being soft spoken but also one of the most passionate and competitive guys on the team.

Nice sequence there. CJ playing more in the flow.

I wish CJ would cut that crap out

Is it too much to ask that we get Jonas some touches?

Said it last game in one of the few positive parts of the entire thing: Herb drives until someone stops him. He discovered this ability this season and it's serving him very well.

Like to see some 2 man action with BI and Zion

Nice reflexes by Zion

Zion gets the loose ball in the scramble and finishes over a completely broken Minnesota defense lmao

Season high for Z

Number 1 Defense in the NBA Minnesota Timberwolves.

For more detail: best defense of any team in any season since the 2016-17 Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves.

to be fair they are missing their best player who also happens to be a hell of a wing defender in addition to number 1 option on offense

They are playing two perennial all-NBA members, one of which is a rim protecting big with multiple DPOYs, and another great all defensive in McDaniels who many are touting as DPOY calibre.

In summary, I think it's still notable.

BI getting the fouls late here is great for him, he's struggled offensively in the second half so the more fouls he can draw the better.

For the 1st time this season I can say WG didn't suck

In a way it’d be nice for Zion to get 40. But he needs the keep working and earn that 40.

Nice to see Dyson get a lot of run
