It's going to be just live in that arena. And so they're excited about the prospects of getting back there because the other part, I think, you know, even though they have been somewhat disappointed at home sometimes and especially in last year's playoffs, role players generally play better at home. And they didn't get much of anything from their bench, from Jaden McDaniels, from Conley tonight.

And so I think that there's confidence that going back there, as long as their defense holds and then they get their offense and their shot making back into it, they'll be in great shape.

Yeah, I think that the real disappointing thing offensively was that they only took 25 threes in the game. I mean, they went 21 of 42 in game one, and they spread the Lakers out, and they moved the ball, and they generated wide-open looks. And there just was none of that tonight. And even, like, you know, they shot five for 25. They were 38% from the field.

So it wasn't a good shot-making night, but it also, I don't think, was a good just offensive – The creation night, like they they really seem to play into the Lakers hands and do what they wanted, what the Lakers wanted them to do. A lot of the talk after the game from Anthony Edwards, from Rudy Gobert, was about this kind of pseudo zone look that the Lakers were throwing at him. And I do think.

It confused them. And I think they had a hard time figuring out, OK, how do we kind of get ourselves moving, get the ball moving and get good shots against this defense? And that's why you saw a lot of standing around, a lot of isolation and very few three point tries. And so it wasn't a very good.

execution standpoint for offensively for them so that when they go home the ball has to move they have to move their bodies and they just have to generate more threes this is one of the very best three-point shooting teams in the league and if you take that away everything is so much more difficult

Yeah, I mean, there's certainly a if you if you want to do the conspiracy theory point, which every NBA fan loves to do, like you're playing the Lakers in a series. How is the game going to be called? How is the game going to be called? And I thought tonight, you know, it was called tight both ways, really. I mean, the Wolves took more free throws than the Lakers did.
