Summary

On today’s show, we discuss the Wolves going into Cleveland and handling the Cavs size, unlike the last time these two teams matched up. A crunch time 3 by Karl-Anthony Towns triggered by D’Angelo Russell, Patrick Beverley guarding 7-footers, the bench kick-starting the offense and Jaden McDaniels leveling carry the conversation today. — Beating the Cavs (without Darius Garland and Caris LeVert) was going to be about managing the bigs — Patrick Beverley checking Lauri Markkanen — How KAT’s game-winner was a product of KAT and DLo slowly learning how to play together in late-game situations — The Bench Five providing a much-needed spark in the second quarter that got the starters going in the third quarter — Jaden McDaniels clearly leveling up over the past month, and how foul trouble still plagues his rhythm Learn more about your ad choices.

This is the Daymore MBA podcast brought you by Blue Wire podcast coming at Monday night after the wolves beat the calves in Cleveland by five

0:22.3

final score wolves 127 calves 122 it wasn't a 20 point win but the wolves were able to come

0:30.0

out ahead because the calves just don't have any guards right now Cleveland was of course

0:35.5

without Colin Sexton and Ricky Rubio, who are both out for

0:38.8

this season. But tonight they were also without Darius Garland, Karras Levert, and Ray John

0:43.6

Rondo, who are all out temporarily. The table was set going into this one for a wolf's win so long as

0:50.7

they could just survive Cleveland's size in the front court, which is obviously

0:55.1

a tall task. Jared Allen, Laurie Markinen, and Evan Mowgli starting in the front court is a job.

1:03.2

This small wolf's roster is not set up to handle. That's why they got smoked by the calves the last

1:09.0

time they played them. The difference, though, tonight, why they didn't get smoked by Cleveland's size is that

1:15.4

Darius Garland was not there to feed those bigs.

1:19.5

They were just left with Chetty Osmond and Braddon Goodwin, who had good games as the de facto

1:24.1

guards, but you just don't have to react to those two as much coming off of a screen

1:29.4

as you do with Garland, which allowed the wolves to kind of stay home more on their big

1:34.3

matchups.

1:35.8

The real question I came into this game having led to those bigs is, you know, who's going to

1:40.9

guard them?

1:42.1

In that last game, the wolves played the calves. Deilo didn't

1:45.2

play in that game and Tori and Prince started in his place. So it was, you know, it's a pretty easy,

1:50.6

you know, way to be able to match up. They started Cat, Vando, and Prince in that game. So you put

1:55.6

those three against Alan, Mobley, and Markan, Prince on Markanin. But starting Dilo tonight, that meant the wolves were again starting three guards,
