00:00He's got the number one win percentage in NBA history
00:07Season to give is brought to you by Alexa plus as we get set for the opening tip tonight
00:13Timberwolves in their classic throwback blacks with the green trees and the Celtics are in their city edition whites with gold
00:22Across the front you big fan. You're not a big fan. Where does it rank on your church?
00:25Well, I mean, I just didn't think that there's no way Minnesota would have more green on their uniforms in the Boston Celtics
00:32I know this has struggled a bit from deep over the last three games just hitting
00:3628% of his triples Jalen Brown picks up where he left off against Detroit before the Thanksgiving holiday drink
00:43He controls it up into the frontcourt
00:47Now Randall to Edwards up fake sets up Dante in the corner for the triple
00:53Oh
00:55Over six a game from the mid-range averaging six mid-range jumpers again and shooting it over 50%
01:01How about that against Rudy the air ball, but it's
01:05Sprained his ankle a couple of games ago
01:08Against Orlando and that first quarter so he's basically missed a game and a half a game in three quarters and now
01:14Last year they took 53.6 percent of their shots as three
01:18It's the highest three-point rate in NBA history as Brown sneaks back door
01:22So it's went with the strategy against Detroit up fouling up three
01:26Hey Cunningham went into a shooting motion at mid-court was able to draw three free throws as McDaniels hits Randall board
01:35For gone eight left to play opening quarter Randall on the run down the leg finds a cutting Rudy who lays it up and in go bear
01:42And some of the best basketball they played at the season happened in that third quarter against the Sun just can't it gets another easy
01:48Who can sign that night team in the game Minnesota killed an eight-point lead under under a minute to go in the big we lose the game
01:54So the way they lost that game was was tragic
01:58Julius knocked down the second
02:00Okay, so you have a tremendous out it was a great game
02:04Didn't blow a lead down the stretch, but it was tied with three minutes to play and the Thunder finished the game on a 12-4 run
02:12Edwards from the mid-range
02:17Spins nicely got the easy shot off the glass against a pretty good defender in there
02:22It is back to the basket and then the drop step beautifully done
02:27Edwards his first two points of the night and the jumper is good
02:32He's a plus-minus genius with this Celtics team when he's off the floor the Celtics aren't nearly the same defensive team
02:38I'm gonna get a look right now that the Edwards knocking down the third three of the game for Minnesota's run on go bear down to the block
02:45Decides to kick out. There's Anthony Simons the former
02:49Portland trailblazer
02:51Simons around Edwards runs into go bear still can be a streaky three-point shooter for Joe Missoula
02:56You can't make mistakes Alan if you make mistakes, you're gonna come sit down deep three from D
03:01Vincenzo and he drains and
03:03Dante's second triple here in the opening quarter felt when they got Anthony Simons with with Tatum out, you know
03:10Snapping his Achilles that he would be somebody that can help keep them afloat for a season as Brown knocks down the long two there
03:16He dribbles inside the arc. That's a long two right there, but he likes it
03:20He's shooting at such a high rate as well
03:22Edwards answers right back with a mid-range jumper of his own doesn't want to shoot those mid-range
03:27But when you're the main option on the floor he's looking for space to score the basketball
03:33And that's where the space has been this year. He'll pop on a three here and drain that
03:37Our great rhythm shots for great scores
03:40You're talking about the number eight score number ten score in the NBA
03:44It sets up go bear inside for the flush. They've all gone into clutch time two of them in overtime
03:50All five games separated by a grand total of nine points
03:55Garza straightaway on the three and hunting the switch that time with Jalen Brown who ended up posting Mike Connelly Rudy came to try to help him out
04:03This might knocks it down gets that one back. They're getting more reps
04:08I mean obviously when you're in the clutch that much you're doing a lot of things right correct because you're
04:12You're down the stretch of games to be that close that many times
04:17Brown the other one and David Hines is really good at his job along with Aaron Sear and Minnesota's medical staff
04:23They had a lot of relative health is Brown
04:28White on the attack he'll keep it himself and get an easy bucket Celtics now lead it by three with 90 seconds to go in the corner
04:34No, it stops the all that time to transition
04:37I mean he had to take that thing and go behind the line and yeah on his body versus Julius and Mike
04:42He were both relatively wide open free throw line rattled in by Brown give him 16 here in the opening quarter
04:52Brown right side three got it
04:56Third three of the quarter 19
04:59For Jalen Brown Shannon
05:01It's his shot blocked by Tarrick white in time that that perfectly and they all came from spots on the floor where he had been struggling previously
05:09Randall sets up McDaniels for the three and Jayden knocks it home
05:16Edwards off the floor to begin the second quarter save for Jalen Brown so Nas Reid takes advantage took some contact but still got the lay in
05:23Houser
05:25Houser to Pritchard
05:29He'll spin his way inside on Conley and floated up and then he played a 48-minute basketball game and played the entire time to go play pick up afterwards across the street
05:40Randall against Minotts and the paint got it to drop
05:43Baylor Shireman is in the game where's number 55 he pops on this one and drops it in the left-hander
05:54His streak of hitting a three ended at Oklahoma City 104 soon he had gone 15 straight games hitting at least one three
06:03He's already started a new streak tonight Hauser
06:07Is their largest lead of the half
06:09Richard Houser a deep three got that one two for two Dillingham
06:18Pulls on the short end of an 11-2 run right now for Boston Nas Reid trying to get into that and he does
06:26Offensive rebounds are up the last five for Rudy
06:29Dante DiVincenzo sets up Gobert inside he throws it down over his former teammate Garza
06:34It's a screen that they're switching that action, but they don't end up switching
06:39Boy with three seconds to go on the shot clock the Wolves give up the layoff off the inbound
06:45How is we able to lay it up and in even Chetzo with range?
06:51He's not quite averaging the distance the Joe Missoula is that he doesn't allow players to make mistakes
06:55And if you don't if you make a mistake if you continue because I come sit down
06:59Rob Dillingham with a pull-up three over Jalen Brown
07:051.5
07:07On the plus side Brown and good look at the free-throw line jumper and he's now got 21
07:13We'll only committed three fouls the entire game
07:16Seven against the Celtics round patient play inside to Keita for the lay-in
07:21Because of that would go bear to over helping his man's board
07:24Dillingham sets up the Vincenzo. No leaking out Derek white. They'll take advantage
07:30Softly throw it down for two
07:32Can't look at a push. It's not a better job at pace of play
07:38That middle pack now after being bottom ten what feels like the last three or four seasons
07:46Data
07:48Inside the Brown
07:50Swings it to the corner Hauser deadly. He's locked in
07:54Nine of rebounds this game and get five of those on the offensive end
07:59Brown against Shannon
08:01TJ forced him into a difficult shot there
08:06Nine-point Celtics advantage Derek whites gives them an 11-point lead a lot of great moves both as the head coach of the Celtics and as an executive
08:17Better coach or general manager or president basketball operations
08:21Dan scores it for two inside. I think you can argue with the pressure both of them running the Celtics, too
08:30Brown got a step sets up Keita and lays it in over go bear
08:34Yeah
08:36I think you're right a lot of players that category
08:39I think they get fouled a lot more than they get credited boy brown stabs back and drains a left angle three is fourth trip kick out
08:48Reed moves to his left fires in and out. No McDaniels an offensive rebound back to Nas floater drops in
08:5669 59 10 seconds to go shot clock is dark wolves don't have a foul to give
09:01Brown up top step back. He's feeling it comes up short the slam followed by my not
09:10after the horn
09:12So that's a really Daniels was a plus eight. He was the only plus player on the floor of Minnesota, which means they were a minus 18
09:19During the ten minutes. He wasn't on the floor
09:21Just took it's an amazing stack data gets free at the rim two more pain points Randall three ball right side drops it in
09:36Brown against Randall
09:38Shove off
09:40I mean
09:41Maybe you have to copy down with Jason Tate. Hey, I like a shirt holiday asked
09:51I'm a Minnesota Twins me. It matches the I do I do like to have a dance to the shirt jacket. I do of course Tatum is from
09:58St. Louis
10:00He grew up rooting for his hometown. He makes my board
10:05Talk about a flop by Shireman. My goodness
10:09There's some is there some disgusting
10:13Dave McDaniels berries a quarter
10:15They had a
10:17And a lot of those same lines Jalen Brown the most points. He's ever scored in a quarter also
10:23Against the Timberwolves a twenty three point fourth course against the Timberwolves
10:29Now up to thirty two points
10:33Randall straight away on the three
10:35So to get to stop here that all started because of Jaden McDaniels greatness on the defensive
10:41Randall spins go bear up strong the finish and the foul
10:45That's big
10:46Needed as well our greatest feet
10:49Great, just a great human
10:51Derek white cashes in on a second chance opportunity for the Celtics has to be one of the courthiest head coaches in the history of
11:01DiVincenzo from deep
11:04Just a six three-point attempt to the game for dunks and the Wolves escape damage
11:10Edwards on the move splits to driving layup
11:13There's an aggressive Edwards Edwards the offensive rebound
11:21Baseline reverse got it 22
11:25Edward steps into the left side three and drains it in that's his third trip all the night
11:36Anthony Simons against Connelly
11:38Connelly
11:40Why not catch up shoot he got it
11:42So, you know what there needs to be an odd being done
11:46So we need to get an audit see who's actually right?
11:48I mean, but because Minnesota just challenged that call right there and if it's it's been going to the lost
11:53He's not as much down
11:58Notly the drive out to Shannon
12:01Got it
12:03Talk about a shooter's touch
12:06white
12:07Good that hit to find out with an offensive rebound put back that hangs on the rim and drops
12:13You can see a mic with by a few by I did a great contest on Shireman
12:19Randall fades fires and hits
12:22Boston one and six this year when they trail after three and they were down by two and during the quarter
12:28Richard
12:30Simon's might not pick and roll
12:38And that's blocked by Nas Reed and take it out of the air 33 in the second just 23 in the third
12:46And there's a deflected pass
12:48Edwards to DiVincenzo
12:50Shannon lay in
12:53That's what's happened these last three games leading into this one all the games that they've lost here
12:57A lot of the same stuff is happening in this thing that happened in that those games those turns Shannon that's down the corner here
13:04Wow, Dante got picked off by a Kata screen
13:08Ball movement comes to Brown
13:11Brown in traffic wow got the shot in the foul. Let's do that now six players in double figures
13:20Self-dix a little more top-heavy with Brown's 36 and on the drive
13:24Oh
13:26Home fouls up to me. I think I'd be proud of my son as an NBA referee. It's a hot shot. It's really hard job
13:33white the miss Pritchard to follow
13:37I'm just not sharing that my son's not noticed. That's what I would like is it knocks down to three
13:42Why you'd like that one up?
13:45Pull up left side three
13:47Shorts rebound go bear tracks it down
13:51Even jenzo dad words the lay in
13:55Up ten under four to play
14:01And with the finish with a sit down where it took a lot for that pass to get to it
14:07Even chenzo
14:10Looked like he avoided the turnover that gifted it right to Brown who lays it in
14:13Spins his way out of trouble to Derek White's deep three straight away and he hits
14:23And just like that it's a 7-0 run
14:26Brown for the tie got it a lot of standing around for Minnesota, which is not good
14:40Corner three for Conley that is large
14:43Randall back to Edwards shot clock down to five
14:46Ant lost it got it back. He's got a hoist
14:52How about that from Ant?
14:55This team that won a championship, but there are a lot of good basketball players from that team stick on it
15:01Houser at the buzzer hits to make it 119
15:06150 but more importantly the wolves get the win
