Also, KAT should be winning his matchup with PJ Washington, but instead he didn't even play late in the game. Maybe Dallas found a way to attack him?
 
Minny must have felt they’ve made the Finals by defeating the Nuggets.

Edwards in particular hasn’t shown up at all.

He’s been MIA for 2 games now.
He’s gassed because he’s guarding Kyrie on the other end. People don’t realize how hard that is and how much energy he is expending.
 
Oof. Minnesota is in trouble. Ant can’t be the 4th best player on the floor behind Luka, Kyrie, and Naz. This series is going to be short if he can’t figure out his ****. Why did Minnesota stop blitzing the screen and roll? Luka and kyrie score almost every time they aren’t trapped and forced to give up the rock.
 
I'm watching this replay. Wovles should have proactively and aggressively run a trap at Luka when Dallas tried to isolate him. Make him give up the ball or beat a double-team. There wasn't much time for Dallas to reset and get Luka or Kyrie the ball again.
 
Wolves might be the Celtics of the East. They got one of the deepest/strongest rosters in the league but their star players simply can't keep up at the highest level. KAT/Ant’s performance tonight are completely unacceptable.
