HB showing some veteran grit right now with Fox looking out of sorts.

 

[coolhandluke]

This game underlines the importance of Malik Monk. We badly miss that extra creator and scorer.

 

[MizzouKing]

I see you, HB! And I see what sweet sweater Kayte is wearing tonight… where do you get one of those??

 

[coolhandluke]

Beauty from Sabonis-Murray connection.

 

[coolhandluke]

Have to win the non-Conley minutes. Minny offense looks discombobulated without him.

 

[hrdboild]

Keegan is cooking!

 

[coolhandluke]

Murray is on fire. Keep feeding him.

 

[coolhandluke]

Such a late whistle. Could have ordered and got a pizza delivered.

 

[The_Jamal]

... No foul on mcdaniels there???

 

[coolhandluke]

I'll take a contested Ant three everyday.

 

[hrdboild]

Fox has either got to do something here or go the locker room. It's obvious he's not right so why is he still on the floor?

 

[Kingz19]

Shoot the damn ball Trey damn

 

[The_Jamal]

...Why is Trey passing up that wide open 3?

 

[hrdboild]

5pt game! DE-FENSE!

 

[coolhandluke]

Lyles should have taken the three.

 

[hrdboild]

Well. 3 questionable calls in a row and that's about it.

 

[Kingz19]

Should’ve been looking for Keegan more in the last few minutes when he got hot

And Trey should take wide open threes instead of passing it to Minnesota

 

[The_Jamal]

Regardless, proud of this effort to make a push. It's been missing from this year's squad. Losses happen, but there's at least some positive you can take from this late push and not just quitting on the game.

 

[ick300]

4 out of 4 …
How many back to back more will we have till the end of the season?

 

[coolhandluke]

Fell into a deep hole and couldn't climb out it. At least some little fight shown today.

This Minny team though very talented can be flustered.

 

[gunks]

Moral victory or are we angry tonight?

 

[sono]

What a monkey wrench at the end... Trey!
But I'll take this loss, not bad as those to LAC, Pels..

 

[hrdboild]

Weird decision to leave Fox on the floor for almost 8 minutes as a gimpy decoy. Kindof deflating to cut it to 5 and then hand it off to a guy who could neither dribble nor shoot and ask him to do something with it. Missed opportunity there with Keegan, Lyles, and Barnes leading the come back and then getting no shots in the last few minutes.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Be encouraged kings fans, be very encouraged. We got what we asked for in a loss, fighting until the end. Keegan would have packed his bags early if he had a start like this game last year. He grabbed boards and kept shooting. 20 points on a night like this is just incredible progress.

 

[coolhandluke]

Moral victory or are we angry tonight?

I'm waiting for KOC to confirm if the Wolves have broken the Kings first.

To be fair, Lyles passed up a wide open 3 only to turn it over for an easy transition Ant dunk and then bricked a 3 the last possession. That swung the game.

Good to see the fight, but the Wolves controlled the clock the whole game. Once Fox started to wear down it was over.

What happened to Fox?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I don't typically pine for ex-players, but Terence Davis would have been handy tonight.

Yeah, and honestly that was not a bad play call if you weren't already down with so little time left. The urgency wasn't there.
