Summary

On today’s show, we break down the Wolves win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night — their 11th win in 13 games since the All Star break. Even though the Bucks were without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Wolves continued their recent trend of taking care of whoever the schedule presents. Topics on today’s show include: — Effectively turning focus from Giannis to Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday — The Wolves are showing layers of perimeter defense, even with Jaden McDaniels currently removed from the mix — Leaning in to the Patrick Beverley identity, not shying away from opponents — Reflecting on the Wolves having a top-10 defense 72 games into the season and what that has unlocked — Naz Reid as a high volume roll man — Controlling their destiny to the 5 or 6 seed now that Dallas and Denver are within range Learn more about your ad choices.

This is the day more NBA podcast,

0:16.0

brought to you by Blue Wire podcast coming at you Saturday night after the Wol wolves beat the Milwaukee Bucks by 19.

0:22.8

Final score, Wolves 138, bucks 119 was another massive scoring performance for this

0:28.9

Wolves team that has now scored over 110 points in 11 of the 13 games that they've played

0:35.6

since the All-Star break, being as both of the times,

0:37.9

they scored under 110 were their two losses since the All-Star break.

0:42.3

That means this Wolf's team is 11 and 0 since the break when they score 110 or more points.

0:49.0

Obviously, in this one tonight, a factor in being able to kind of score at will like they did

0:53.9

was Janus and Teddekoupo not playing in this game due to knee-sornness and tonight a factor in being able to kind of score at will like they did.

0:58.1

Was Janice and Teta Koupo not playing in this game due to knee soreness?

And, you know, this continues the pattern.

But I think there are two ways to look at that element of this game. Like, yes, Janus missing the game continues the trend of the wolves rarely playing a team at full

1:28.2

I still think this Bucks team without Janus was still the fourth hardest they've played.

1:33.2

I think Philly on that back-to-back for Hardin's first game with the Sixers was the toughest.

1:38.2

They lost that one by 31.

1:40.8

The next toughest, I think, was the Memphis game right out of the break,
