Yeah, I really think it was, Ryan. When you look at how that game was going, Detroit was handling the Wolves. It was 34-20 after the first quarter, and they were doing what the Pistons do to their credit. I mean, they were physical, they were... pushing people around. They were the aggressors in every sense of the word in that first quarter.

And you could tell when Dante DiVincenzo came into the game that he saw that his teammates were getting bullied and said, I'm going to stand up here. And, you know, somebody has got to follow me into this fight. And so what happened was as soon as he hit the floor, he started ramping up the physicality and he went right at Dante. Isaiah Stewart.

I mean, it's like, you know what they say in prison, go at the biggest guy first and see what happens. And that's exactly what Dante did. And and I think a few possessions into that. I think that everyone in the arena and certainly everyone on the Wolves bench understood that this was about to pop off if the officials did not really crack down and they didn't.

But after the game, the Wolves really did respond well to it and felt like, hey, here was one of our guys, one of our new faces that was going to bat for us. And we came back and got the energy and took the game that they needed. But also, I think that there's more of a togetherness now even than before.

And one thing that this team was missing early on in the season, Ryan, was Kyle Anderson. And not necessarily from a play standpoint, although they did miss that, but he was like The resident asshole in the locker room.
