Harden getting completely bottled up by Duane Washington Jr and dribbling out the entire clock on one possession, then hitting a step-back 3 the next, is the epitome of the James Harden iso experience right now. – 7:53 PM

James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
Lance Stephenson scores a layup, gets an and-one and dishes an assist to Duane Washington Jr. for 3. #Pacers – 7:49 PM

“Come on, Wes Unseld Jr.”

Chris Finch complimentary of Jaden McDaniels and the Wolves medical/athletic training staff for getting him back ahead of schedule. High ankle sprain can sometimes take much longer. McDaniels missed nine games. – 7:00 PM

Anthony Edwards’ knee pain was also affecting his shot as much as his driving ability.
In the 10 games before he rested for a week, Edwards was shooting 27% from three-point range.
In the last 10 games entering tonight, he’s at 45%. – 6:00 PM

Per @stathead. There are only two players in @NBA this season shooting 50% FG 37% 3pt and 84% FT. Kevin Durant is one. The other….Wait for it….is @Jalen Brunson. If you reduce the FT% to 80, you can add Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikael Bridges. That’s the list – 3:54 PM

The T’Wolves play the Wizards tonight.
The Nuggets shouldn’t expect any help there, but now would be a great time for KCP and Kuzma to combine for 70 points. – 2:07 PM

Dan Favale @danfavale
if i were the lakers i simply would’ve traded for steph and giannis while also keeping kcp and caruso and ad and lebron and then easily made the playoffs pic.twitter.com/fB22y19Hgj – 2:07 PM
