He really deserves all the criticism he’ll get tonight. How do you have a All-Defense caliber defender and not adjust. Jaden clamped Trae. But Murray was literally taking over like MJ and Finch still played him straight up with Conley & NAW, who got cooked. Didn’t even try to trap him or put Jaden on him.
Having deja vu?
From an Athletic article published 1/1/23…
“The Wolves came out firing with a 39-point first quarter. They still led by 14 at halftime, which should have been more than enough against a team that had lost 10 of its previous 12 games, most in convincing fashion.
But rather than sensing an opponent begging to be beaten, the Wolves just stopped trying. They went into halftime knowing that they have been one of the worst third quarter teams in the league all season long, and yet still came out of the break with another putrid period.”
