Summary

On today’s show, we get into Game 3 of the Wolves-Grizzlies first round matchup, highlighting what went into the Wolves building two separate 20-point leads only to watch both leads crumble away. An obvious key area to focus on in this game was Karl-Anthony Towns, who not only got in foul trouble again in this matchup but also took a career-low of four shots in the loss. Topics today include: — Why did KAT only shoot four shots? — Jaren Jackson Jr. and Karl-Anthony Towns showing off chronic foul problems that have plagued both players for their entire career — Chris Finch opting to save timeouts rather than using them during Memphis’ run — Should Finch be anticipating foul trouble from KAT? — Patrick Beverley effectively attacking Ja Morant, and why that could be valuable if it sustains throughout the series — Anthony Edwards hurts his knee, fades away — What needs to be different in Game 4 Learn more about your ad choices.

Thursday night after game three of wolves gri Grizzlies, a nine-point

0:22.8

Wolves loss that saw the wolves get up by 26 points in the second quarter and have that lead

0:28.4

slip away to seven by halftime, only to blow the lead back up to 25 points in the third quarter,

0:35.2

and then watch that slip away.

Not so slowly through the third and fourth quarters it was two separate 20 point leads that the wolves had that were just

0:44.7

sort of decimated by chaos in this one they yeah they really blew this one and are are in danger

0:50.4

of blowing a series that they very clearly can compete in.

0:54.5

You know, we talked after game two about how despite Memphis blowing them out by 28,

0:59.6

how it didn't really seem like the Grizzlies had found solutions for stopping cat and

1:05.1

ant.

1:06.0

You know, that seems pretty silly in hindsight.

1:08.1

Like the Grizzlies, again up on Ant and he was again,

1:11.9

not the player that he was in the play in game or game one of the series. An added factor there of

1:17.9

him hurting his knee on the second quarter that affected him to some degree. But the cap part,

1:24.5

you know, that was probably the most naive. I didn't think in game two that the

1:28.5

Grizzlies were doubling Cat with the same effectiveness that the Clippers did. You know, it seemed

1:33.3

it seemed solvable and that was that that was clearly wrong. What happened was that Memphis's

1:39.4

ratcheted up their aggression with which they double-teamed cat they didn't even bother playing

1:44.9

Stephen Adams for a minute in this game started Kyle Anderson in Adams place in the first half

1:50.2

that put Brandon Clark out there and Anderson's place in the second half and it worked excellently
