GAME 72: MIN (42-31) vs. DAL (44-28)| 108-110 WIN!

Damn! That deserved its own thread.

[Kammrath]

Everything looks smoother with Bullock back

+/- doesn't lie. He is +4.9 for the season (best of the guys not acquired at the TDL). The team is absolutely better with RB. He is integral to making Kidd's system work. There is a reason he was the target in the off-season.

[SwisherPrice]

Last-second possession to end a quarter = a Luka stepback three 99.9% of the time

[Kammrath]

DP, JB, and SD have been great. Need them to carry the team down the stretch.

[Kammrath]

Last-second possession to end a quarter = a Luka stepback three 99.9% of the time

Any Luka shot = Luka three 70% of the time.

At least that is the case tonight. I really despise "In-Love-With-the-Three-Luka"....its my least favorite version of him.

[SwisherPrice]

KAT's 3-pt shooting is legit. Him labeling himself the best shooting big man of all time is premature but when it comes to only threes, he is up there already in the Top-5

[ItsGoTime]

BTW, KAT, the only other player in the game that plays smaller than DP.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Led wire to wire, now is not the time to give up the lead...

[dirkfansince1998]

Would be really nice if Luka could wake up and bring this one home. Having an off night at the worst possible time.

[MaxiThreeba]

Triple double watch for Luka…Points, Rebounds and Turnovers.  If Maxi could hit the broad side of a barn we’d be looking at a quadruple double.

[ItsGoTime]

Dinwiddie's turn

---

Oh, Finney, next is SD.

---

Also, did anyone else see Luka wincing after his last layup?

[ItsGoTime]

My bad, Bullock AND THEN Dinwiddie!

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Balance scoring is the recipe. 6 players in double figures.

[SwisherPrice]

Gotta use the foul strategy here with Minnesota out of timeouts

[SwisherPrice]

Not sure if a challenge is worth it here. If you win the challenge then it turns into a jump ball and Minnesota can still win the tip and tie with a three

[dirkfansince1998]

Why is Bobi even on the team? Mavs needed one rebound to secure the win. Fail do get it twice. Thankfully they got the win.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Won a nail biter. Minnesota damn near pulled off the comeback. Utah lost to the Nets, so they picked up a game.

[Tyler]

Huge win! In a game where Luka looked human, having 6 guys score at least 15 is pretty incredible. Truly great team game.

[SwisherPrice]

Finally a vintage Bullock performance from when he was on fire during those weeks after the THJ injury. It's obviously not sustainable but when he does have a game like this, they are very tough to beat. A 2-way SG/SF that can put in close to 20 points on catch and shoot attempts is what every team wants. Basically Klay Thompson-esque

[SleepingHero]

Huge win! In a game where Luka looked human, having 6 guys score at least 15 is pretty incredible. Truly great team game.

Luka only looked human because the refs allowed Minny to get away with murder tonight.
