[Highlight] Led by Jaden McDaniels and Anthony Edwards, the Wolves put on a masterclass on defense to prevent both Kyrie and Luka for getting a shot off and to seal the W in Dallas!

    Insane defensive possession against two of the great NBA players of all-time by our two studs, 21 and 22 years old…. INSANE

    SloMo with the disrespectful miss on the finger roll

    This is unironically my favorite defensive possession ever.

    ​

    UNREAL.

    Naz Reid deserves credit too kept his eye on the ball the whole time.

  5. CantaloupeCamper

    Nice and aggressive.

    Nobody on offense could get comfortable.

    Yeah, I know they gave up way too many picks for Gobert… But games like this from Ant and Jaden make me think, ehh fuck those picks.

    Ant and Jaden are 21 and 22 and are already playing like all-NBA and all-defensive caliber players respectively. I think the timberwolves are gonna be just fine.

    all the social media posts on this play are just “kyrie and luka don’t get the shot off”, “mavs lose the game after a comeback”

    not one mention of the defense

    Our future all defense first team and all stars 😭

  9. Was that A-Rod in the bottom right courtside?

  10. This possession is meaningless without giving up a 20+ pt lead. Brilliant!

    And, because of this one play, Wolves win the 3 game series with the Mavs. Could be important at end of season.

    What a difference one play can make.

    Mike Conley doing the real work on this play 🤣

    “Playing hot potato? Believe it or not, jail”

    Legitimately one of the best defensive possessions I’vr ever seen. You can say that the way Irving and Luka played was stupid and boneheaded, but they’re two of the best scorers in the league. That mental breakdown was a function of suffocating one on one defense, they get something good against average defense. Great job securing the W, even if it was way closer than it shouldve been.

    Was really good defense, but it seemed like Kyrie and Luka weren’t sure who should take the last shot and didn’t help themselves
