After finishing the first part of the season on a victory against the Thunder, the Wolves fell again, in Houston. It was complicated, but the partners of Alperen Sengun kept and managed to snatch an end of the suspense meeting. Except that Anthony Edwards was no longer inspired and Minnesota ended up bowing.
“Our problem is that we have to win tight matches”,, Announcement and advertising Chris Finch. “I do not know our statistics during these scenarios but we have to do better. Our selection at the shoot, our decisions must improve in attack. In defense, we have to take rebounds and not make mistakes. »»
“These matches, we can win them, but we have to be focused and we have to do the right things”insists Naz Reid, orphan of Rudy Gobert in this part, since the French is hit on the back.
A star tired and little inspired in the last quarter
As Donte Divincenzo and Julius Randle are still absent, it is up to Anthony Edwards to make the difference. And if he does not respond, then it is Minnesota as a whole that coughs.
“They put two players on him”notes the Wolves coach. “Overall, he made the right choice but he must stay in the spot. We have to help him too. I have to do better in my instructions at the end of the meeting. »»
Despite the technician's comments, Minnesota's back did not always show accuracy. He has often stuck in the racket and forced 3-PTS. Thus, after having scored 34 points in three quarters, he only added 3 units in the last, 1/6 in the shoot. “I was a little tired in the last act, for this first match after the cut”defends Edwards.
Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels failed to take over and the Wolves then experienced long minutes without a basket, which will lead to defeat. “I had good shots and if I have these shots every time in the last quarter, I think we will win matches”concludes the All-Star, which did not play the star match last Sunday.
