Wolves turned some heads Monday as they battled back from 22 to defeat the Brooklyn Nets for the first time at Barclay's Arena.
96 - 96 with a little over a minute, Alexi Shved gets a bucket. Wolves get a steal, JJ hits a flying Pek in the lane for a layup. Wolves get another stop, Chase nails a dagger to make the score 103 - 96 with 50 seconds remaining in the game.
The fans remained in their seats and were not a factor in the final two minutes of play.
"..In the second half, we
just talked to each other and did not worry about the losing quarter. We had to
just improve our game because since the beginning of the season we had good
stretches and bad stretches, but we have to stay in the game with consistency."
AK47 (16 points, 10 boards, and 6 assists in 32 Minutes)
JJ Barea, who was questionable with a concussion, played 29 minutes (6 points, 6 assists) after the team was unsure about his status (concussion).
JJ will be huge both on the court as a pivotal role as a play-maker but also in the locker room as one of the teams Veteran Leaders.
Daunte Cunningham played Tolliver like hustle minutes with countless additions that will not show in the box score.
Tough that we lost Budinger. I thought he was going to be a key push toward the playoffs this year. This game, however, was my favorite since the days of KG and friends. Very collective effort.
