This also might be the first time this year that a zone was used and the other team was the one punished, haha.

Even thought they won, this team need to learn to be mentally tough though. You can't miss free throws like that, not if you're Malik Monk! Not if you're an excellent free throw shooter.

This team never makes it easy but damn I love these guys!

Monk was a 90% FT shooter last year but this year he consistently misses dual free throws almost everytime you need it at the end of the game. He can’t make them when he is all pumped up.

Can't recall a player leaving at half time for personal reasons. Wonder what happened with Anthony Edwards

He's becoming a father
His wife went into labor
Monk % has gone down an appreciable and unsettling amount over the season....may hurt his salary raise a little.

He’s already a multitime father depending on whose lawyer you ask/whose instagram feed you follow.
I suppose. Looked to me like the pre-Antman Timberwolves. I knew the Kings were going to win when they announced that Edwards was unavailable for the second half, because that meant their best remaining player was Big Sawfty, and that dude ain't leading nobody nowhere.
Some good above observations above, Kings very likely dont win this game with Edwards in with their FTs
I didn't know they'd win, but certainly improved their chances a bunch

I mean, sure. But if we’re playing the “This game is different if Player X played” game, then we should probably mention that the Kings were also playing without their best player tonight.

He’s so bad. I don’t get it. I think they trade him over the summer.
Ya but not mid-game
According to Doctor Internet, Edwards is not married. There also appears to be some speculation as to whether or not the woman giving birth is his girlfriend.

That was tense... what a match.
Monk and Sabonis were like the two opposites, Domas perfect in the first half when Monk struggled (just 4 points and some "saucy" passes that led to turnovers or bad shots from his teammates, and then in the 2nd half Domas stopped producing in the attack, I am sure he got frustrated also with the defense, refs and everything but Monk took over thanks to Gobert and well the rest is history.
KAT is by far the dirtiest player I have ever seen and he got zero flagrant fouls against him. If KAT was playing in the Kings he would have been ejected in this match, no doubt!
That lost challenge for the Kings... should be the worst call of the season for the refs. It felt like facing the Lakers and Celtics combined today.

Without googling, some months ago there were some DMs surfaced for Edwards urging the mother of his child to "drop it" and he will take care of anything needed. No clue if this is the baby coming today.

yeah, that’s why I was surprised Kayte mentioned it at all. Felt like the Wolves were trying to be discreet about it to not have the internet going wild over it by listing him with an ankle injury but…

Shout out to Sabonis coming back into that game when he absolutely didn’t have to after Towns barreled his way into the lane for most of the game. My heart sank when Domas fell to the ground and slapped the court in agony.
The funny thing about this Kings squad, is that we likely get blown off of the floor taking on the wolves without Fox last season, as they were our Pelicans of this year. Now we seemed to have figured them out for the most part.

Kid has had it rough, so I'll let him live off the court but, on the court, he's every bit of the loser that people told me Cousins was.
What's crazy about Towns, though, is that he's so talented that there's no hope of Minnesota getting fair value in return for a trade. If they can, though, they should definitely try and get back the picks they gave up in the Gobert trade to move him.
