Timberwolves comeback from down 24 to shock Thunder

And for a rookie, he knows exactly where to be when it comes to help defense to be able to find his way to help off ball, to get on back on his defender, to chase down blocks. I mean, we've seen something similar. Yeah, his twin in Houston. But it has taken a little while to be able to see, you know, a star ascend to that level of play. Jalen Durant said it best tonight.

I've never seen anyone like him. Like he might be, he does everything. That's what he said. He does everything. And so you've got a Desar Thompson that can be counted on to do everything. You've got three vets in Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Malik Beasley, who is currently shooting the lights out in the last seven games that they've won, shooting over 51% from three.

So you got these three veterans doing exactly what they're supposed to do. And then, Kate Cunningham is finally getting to become the star that he is. J.B. Bickerstaff, bravo. Bravo. Because he has taken this team to another level. They've won 32 games this season. That's more games than they've won in the last two years combined.

I absolutely think they have a shot. Because one thing that Detroit has is that chip on their shoulder. They have this scrappiness to them that I think a lot of teams have underestimated all season. And it's funny, we're going to talk about this Minnesota OKC game. And when you think about who... Minnesota in that late game. It was the youth.

It was the young guys being able to come in and have a point to prove against these veteran players. Now, I can see a situation in which the Knicks get a little comfortable against a team like an Asar Thompson that wants to come out and fight and play hard. Cade Cunningham, who feels as if he has a point to prove to make sure he's not an empty calories player on a bad team, right?

And they finally have some veteran presence that can be able to assess players the talent across the ball from them. A Tobias Harris, a Malik Beasley, a Tim Harvey Jr. that can look at a Jalen Brunson and a Carl Anthony Towns and find a way to pick and roll them to death and take advantage of the fact that they're not so great on defense in that category. So I absolutely think they have a chance.
