00:00Minnesota Timberwolves, winners of eight straight, and those two teams, Golden State and Minnesota,

00:05battling for the six and seven spots, of course, trying to get out and stay out of the play-in

00:11tournament. And that win streak for Minnesota also coming to a close. That eight-game win streak for

00:17the T-Wolves ended last night by Obi Toppin and the Indiana Pacers, winning in OT, 132-130,

00:25outright as an eight-and-a-half point dog. A huge night for Obi Toppin, 34 points to pace

00:31the Pacers, and Donnie, two go-ahead threes in the final 30 seconds in OT, including the game

00:38winner with just over three seconds remaining. Yeah, converted 19 of 23 free throws, good for

00:4483%, but how about the three-point line for the road team Pacers? We used to get efficiency at

00:48home because you're used to shooting in your home gym, but how about 46% as a team from three on

00:52the road against a pretty good defensive team? You know when Rudy Gobert is in the lineup,

00:56you gotta maximize your effort from the three-point line, and they did that last night,

00:59getting around seven-and-a-half to eight-and-a-half points game time here. I like the Pacers in this

01:03game handling their business, showing that they do have a lot of talent when things go correctly,

01:08like they did last night. Solid win on the road here. Hey, look, sooner or later, you're gonna

01:11have to lose basketball games for the Timberwolves. This wasn't like the Timberwolves lost against the

01:15B-team for the Pacers. They got a pretty good punch, good for the Pacers.
