NBA: Bulls 139, Wolves 131: “Jazzed Up” Wolves Run out of Gas in ... (Canis Hoopus)

Anthony Edwards leaving Friday night's game early left it with a bleak outlook. And a shorthanded team almost successfully carried the torch.

It was a crushing loss under crushing circumstances with crushing plays that sealed the deal. It wasn’t a perfect fit scheme-wise, but Gobert was excellent at deterring drives, lowering shot percentage at the rim, and erasing shots with his block count. “I definitely get the sense he knows when to step up and be aggressive and take the big shot; he did that all night tonight,” he said. SlowMo played 51 minutes posted his third triple double of the season with 10 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists. “Once Ant when out I was like ‘I now have to kinda be looking for my offense a lot more’,” Conley said afterward. For the most part, the refocusing was a success. The latest edition in a season of disparaging and soul-sucking losses. The Wolves point man posted a career high in three-pointers with eight, and looked incredibly comfortable orchestrating the offense. He was awesome shooting the ball off screens, and had a really good sense of when to step up and take a few more shots. “Once they understand they can’t go under on Mike Conley, then we’re gonna get an advantage, and then he’s gonna find his teammates.” He left the game, and was not able to put any pressure walking on it. “My reaction is obviously I’m concerned for Ant, but had got to try and refocus and go.”
