Summary

On today's episode, we get into how in the world the Timberwolves blew a 16-point lead with 10 minutes left against the Spurs. Where the Timberwolves 4th quarter offensive execution broke down. Why Saunders said he puts some of that on him (audio included). Where the execution of what they were running cracked. And how in the world Anthony Edwards couldn't get a touch the whole quarter. The game could have also been saved on the defensive end. But DeMar DeRozan had 16 4th quarter points, as the Wolves scrambled to find answers to no avail. Should have Ricky Rubio came in for Josh Okogie? Why did Saunders prioritize offense over defense? Was that the right move? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

1:12.8	Lost number 16 of the season for the Timberwolves, but the main focus tonight has to be on that fourth quarter.
1:14.9	I mean, the score of this game was 97 to 81 with 10 minutes and 21 seconds left.
1:20.8	Yeah, the wolves were up by 16.
1:22.5	So if you just think about it from that juncture of the game i think ESPN had it pinned at 98%

1:43.6	if the wolves would have executed at all
1:46.1	offensively in the fourth, they could have survived what DeMar Rosen, you know, did against them,
1:51.7	the fourth quarter scoring, 16 fourth quarter points. But, you know, I mean, DeRosen can go off,
