And so generally speaking, the Wolves want physicality. They want to play tough. They want to play – they hope for a loose whistle and they hope to be able to get into guys. And so I was a little bit – I guess that they seem to be as rattled as they looked, especially early with that physicality.

Usually when a team wants to play that way against them, they're like, all right, you know, let's get in the ring and swing. And and instead they looked just a little slower. They looked like they were having a hard time. getting their feet where they needed to be before the offensive player was there. And so they were committing all of these fouls.

So if you look forward to game three, ultimately, I do think that they're going to be reiterating a lot of what they have done defensively because look, Luca's shot making is ridiculous. He had an unbelievable game, but they shot by the end of the game, they shot 45% from the field. They shot 20% from three. The defense from the wolves was really, really good. for those last three quarters.

And if they can keep that up, and then they don't have the outlier, Nas Reed goes 0-5 to start, and Nikhil Alexander-Walker's 1-6. If a lot of those things don't happen, this game is either a lot tighter or probably goes the Wolves' way. And so defensively, as much as Luka can make them look silly every once in a while, in the aggregate, it's been really good through two games here.

Yeah, I think so. And I but I also think that, you know, there's been a lot of discussion about the two days off between games being advantageous for LeBron, of course, like that's going to be definitely a plus for him to be able to get a little extra rest. But I think it's a real plus for the Timberwolves as well, because they have an extra day to look at this film.

to kind of drill in, to have a real practice and to kind of go over the things that did not go well. I think, you know, coming off of game one, when they just completely dominated, I do think that maybe there was a few, a few less teaching points and they'll have plenty of them.
