Sure felt like TJ Shannon impacted the offense tonight and the numbers really bear it out.

144.1 ORTG with him ON, 8.8% TOV rate
86.2 ORTG with him OFF, 20.0% TOV rate

Going live in about 10 minutes with Luke Inman after a highly competitive Wolves loss in OKC...

- Little things adding up
- TJ Shannon is back
- Encouraging defensive effort
- Free throw shooting
- and more!

Pasch and Doris have been a nauseating listen all night, too.

One of the worst national broadcasts I can remember in a long time
November 27, 2025 at 3:21 AM
4th quarter 3-point shooting

Minnesota: 8/10
OKC: 1/7

Crazy that OKC is still leading
November 27, 2025 at 3:19 AM
Perfect quarter for the Ant magnet ball
November 27, 2025 at 3:03 AM
Wolves have had no answers for Ajay Mitchell off the bounce all night.

Gotta give him a ton of credit for the way he's sought the paint and made things happen when he's gotten there
November 27, 2025 at 3:00 AM
Independent of the final score, the Wolves have showed good resolve. Love the way they've just kept playing and kept competing despite the headwinds they've faced (and at times created for themselves).

Getting TJ *back* back is also a big win. A game to build upon
November 27, 2025 at 2:50 AM
Karl Lane calling a foul from that angle from 50 feet away with there's a ref right there is absolutely insane
November 27, 2025 at 2:40 AM
Finally they call something on Dort while he's doing something ridiculous
November 27, 2025 at 2:34 AM
If the Wolves lose this game by single digits, the sole blame will be their free throw shooting.

Tonight (16/26, 61.5%) is their 5th time in the last 7 games shooting 72% or worse from the free throw line.

Completely inexcusable, especially Ant/Ju have 3 misses apiece.
November 27, 2025 at 2:28 AM
Naz yelling out a switch then just not guarding Mitchell.

Yeesh

Love the way Anthony Edwards is reading and attacking the Thunder defense both as a scorer and a playmaker in this third quarter.

Much more assertive with getting to a spot and making the right read from there. Wolves back within 3 as a result
November 27, 2025 at 2:16 AM
Timberwolves make a transition outlet pass without a turnover challenge level impossible
November 27, 2025 at 2:13 AM
Would like to see the Wolves take 25+ 3s in the second half

Minnesota really needs Ant/DDV/Naz to be impactful from deep, especially if OKC is gonna have a 3Pr around 20-25%
November 27, 2025 at 2:08 AM
Three key differences in the 1H

1) 2-point shooting
- OKC: 16/30 (53.3%)
- MIN: 7/21 (33.3%, 1/10 on non-rim 2s)

2) Free throws
- OKC: 8/9 (88.9%)
- MIN: 10/18 (55.6%)

3) Stars
- SGA: 19 PTS on 7/12 FG, 4 AST
- Ant: 6 PTS on 1/5 FG, 4 AST

Good half for the Wolves' sophomores.

TJ and Rob combined for 15 of the team's 17 bench points on 6/10 shooting, 2/2 from 3, did not commit a turnover and drove the offense forward against the league's top defense.

Need Naz Reid to join them in the 2H.
November 27, 2025 at 1:54 AM
Transition TJ back

Huge shot in the arm for the Wolves after stops
November 27, 2025 at 1:43 AM
Anthony Edwards may only have 1 make but man is he defending tonight.
November 27, 2025 at 1:42 AM
Offense started looking a lot better and the Wolves cut the lead to 6 once Dillingham checked in.

Stacking solid performances
*whispers*

I'd like to see what Rob Dillingham could do off the dribble against this defense if Mike Conley isn't going to be getting up 3s in the slot
November 27, 2025 at 1:41 AM
The Wolves have scored 6 points in the last 10 minutes of game action

Ant/Randle go for 7 points on 2/9 FG with 1 assist and 1 turnover in the first quarter.

Wolves have no chance unless their stars find a way to assert themselves and then use that gravity to get everyone else going.
November 27, 2025 at 1:17 AM
Thunder aren't guarding Jaylen Clark in the corner, similar to how the Wolves have played Aaron Gordon in the past.

Making it difficult on the offensive spacing
November 27, 2025 at 1:14 AM
Zero offensive activity from the Wolves right now. Not even attempting to seek the paint and kick the ball out and get the defense in rotation
November 27, 2025 at 1:11 AM
OKC has a 66.5% DREB rate over the last 5, 25th in the NBA, down from 70.6% on the season (7th).

Wolves need to crash the offensive glass -- and they have thus far.
Scoring through 5:28

Jaden McDaniels: 8
Thunder: 8

Good start defensively for the Wolves, forcing Dort and Wallace to shoot 3s. Those two are 0/3 from deep, while SGA has taken just one shot.

13-8 Minnesota with 3 OREBs and only 1 turnover -- positive sign
