0:00.0	This is the Dane Moore MBA podcast brought to you by Blue Wire Podcasts.
0:17.6	Coming at you Monday night after a 99 to 96 Wolves' loss at home against the Phoenix Suns,
0:24.3	and we're going to get right into that game. Tonight, which was actually Carl Anthony Towns' 26th birthday,
0:30.1	was maybe Kath's best individual game of the season. He defensively, he helped out hold down the fort.
0:37.5	The Suns only shot 46% from 2, 23% from 3.
0:43.0	But really, it was the offensive end of the floor where Kat got it going.
0:47.9	He had 35 points tonight, capped by a 16.4th quarter.
0:53.0	But the problem, if you watch the game with that 16.4th quarter,

1:29.8	two minutes of the game. Booker cuts back door off of that. Chris Paul finds them for an open 15 footer,
1:34.6	90 to 90. The wolves kind of playing the role of we're winning the game. They slowly walked the ball
1:42.3	up into the half court.
1:44.9	And they get in their little late game horn set thing they do with Dilo up top,
1:49.4	Cat and Ant at the elbows.
1:51.6	Ant pops out for a catch, swings the ball to Dilo.
1:54.0	It's a step back three by Dilo that he misses.
