LaMelo is heating up. 19 points and counting. That left slot three feels automatic right now for him.
LaMelo and Ayo combine for 22 points to lead the Wolves at the break. They’re up 57-51 over the Jazz. George and Peterson leading the charge for Utah with 23 points. Pretty even game after 24 minutes.
Jaden McDaniels is shooting a career-best 56.4% from 3-10 ft through 10 games, 11% higher than his career average.
Not a great offensive start for the Wolves or Jazz. Bench unit has been sharp with 16 points. Getting good looks, they’ll start to fall.
LaMelo and Ayo combine for 48 points, 12 dimes, 4 rebs in the backcourt.
Jaden/Kuminga: 40 points, 14 rebs, 9 dimes, 4 stocks
Rudy/Trey: 13 points, 24 rebs, 2 dimes, 5 stocks
Wolves beat Pelicans and move to 7-3 on Chris Finch’s birthday.
LaMelo Ball turned it all the way up once again in the 4th when the Wolves needed him to run the show. What a blast to watch him orchestrate the offense. Absolute cinema as a floor general. Makes the game so much easier for everyone. THE GRAVITY!!! 22 PTS, 8 dimes, game-best +23.
I like to imagine Trey Lyles reading the tweets about him not playing well mid-game only to come up with like 5 great plays to help them win.
LaMelo is held and hand checked a lot. Defenders have hands on him on the perimeter all the time, every game with few whistles.
Wolves held Dejounte Murray and Zion Williamson to 4 points in the first half on 8 shots. If it weren’t for the Matković scoring explosion, they’d be up double digits. Pelicans want to get out and run so taming their fastbreak is key in the second half.
Someone stop Karlo Matković! He’s going wild on the Wolves. 16 points in 8 minutes. He averages 9.3 ppg.
