00:00coming right up they pride themselves on each and every step that leads to victory
00:11the preparation the focus the sheer will each game a new opportunity to prove their identity
00:19don't leave your seat we'll be right back it's the nba welcome to our sunday night broadcast
00:26here on 2k sports i'm kevin harland here at the table with me greg anthony and richard jefferson
00:32and over on the sidelines tonight ali la force a moment now to check out some numbers for anthony
00:40edwards in the last five games you can see the trend upwards for effective field goal percentage
00:46and it shows you how confident he's playing right now now the starting group for the visitors
00:52hachimura out there with andre drummond then there's prince then it's ellis and it's gillespie
00:59in at the one spot and for the timberwolves up at the forward it'll be mcdaniels and randall
01:05guard and off guard filled by divincenzo and edwards and it's gobert in at the five so greg when you're
01:13in the first game of a back-to-back how much focus slips into already looking towards the second game
01:19well from a player's perspective not much but from the view of a coach it has to creep in some
01:26in terms of making sure you don't overplay your start and the junk by prince you got to do more
01:34than that to keep the ball out of his hands down low agreed he's just too dominant inside so you're
01:41better off stopping him from getting the ball in the first place here's gillespie
01:46hachimura finds drummond that shot off
01:53even chenzo with it as to edwards from past the arc hachimura grabs the miss
02:01and just about a minute into the first quarter drummond passes to gillespie
02:17good for the basket starting off one for one with that shot and once he got to the 10 i think he was
02:24surprised to find himself that wide open easy possessions like that literally are just a gift
02:30you just dream of them he'll gladly take those now here's ellis anthony edwards unable to get his
02:36last shot to go in misses and close
02:43for minnesota they've gone just one of four to get this game started gobert
02:47and there's randall on the assist by gobert and how about the touch there inside and that's where
02:55randall likes to get the ball and you can see why and a four-time defensive player of the year
03:02rudy gobert is improving his perimeter defense as well great it's helped his overall game yeah
03:08teams have looked to pull him outside and test his lateral quickness but i tell you he looks up better
03:14than you think and we know his presence at the room here's mcdaniels and that won't go missing the
03:21go-ahead bucket gillespie the pass to ellis hachimura kicks to drummond pass to gillespie back to
03:32drummond over gobert and it's drummond missing usually he's a master in the midi but not that time
03:40edwards passes to randall to the middle here's de vincenzo that's in coming off an assist from
03:50randall and their post play has been really solid right off the bat gone 50 from the field hitting
03:58three of six since the opening two goespie the best to prince
04:08stolen by mcdaniels
04:13down low
04:15pastor randall and there are the timberwolves with another bucket
04:19boy he is looking confident love how they're using him so far yeah when he gets engaged this
04:26early in the game it's bad news for the defense he can roll this start throughout the rest of the game
04:32now here's prince he's averaging around five and a half points a game
04:39and the dunk by hachimura oh what a finish he's showing off that athletic ability
04:45minnesota's gone 0-3 from three-point land nothing yet going outside and randall throws it down
04:55nice ball movement there delivered the pass right on time
04:59here's gillespie this game we saw him score 13.
05:03prince outside pass to gillespie now ellis
05:09here's gillespie shot clock at six
05:18shoots over divincenzo and it's gillespie missing minnesota in the lead
05:26divincenzo finds gobert launches it divincenzo can't hit it and even without that three ball
05:36dropping for him the defense should have done more on that last play trummon gobert pulls it in
05:44timberwolves have gone just a shade under 50 for the field five of eleven
05:51a three for divincenzo another miss for him now shooting one for four from the floor
05:58gone four for nine from the field to start this game off here's trummond randall grabs the board okay
06:05so if i were to say this was a disaster of a period for him it would be an understatement but hey
06:11sometimes you've got to shoot your way out of the slump even for him and kevin lots of standing around
06:17and watching by the defense that time and he makes them pay doesn't he drag out with that
06:21emphatic slam that's what lackluster defense will get you you deserve to get dunked on with that type of
06:27effort go less b that's good and those are the kind of nice inside looks they've gotten here in the
06:34first hand and now we're being joined by our 2k insider shans charania who's calling in with a
06:40good story shans what do you have well a new ownership group taking over for the timberwolves
06:46it remains a commitment to continuity on the basketball side and while creating a replacement
06:51for the second oldest arena is a priority they made it clear their commitment is to remain in minnesota
06:58you'll love to hear it all right johns we thank you for the report a new lineup here for the timberwolves
07:13here's shannon pass to ingles
07:20here's shannon for three it's hauled in by gillespie
07:26ingles against hachimura
07:34can't tie it up as that one's no good and he's usually able to score on that type of defense
07:44rather easily surprising to see him come away i guess that defense thought they could live with that
07:50and he punished them for thinking so here's gillespie following the three by minnesota james finds drummond
07:57takes a three james misses minnesota leading by five to the inside here's shannon up and in off to an
08:07efficient start two for three from the field and they keep hammering away at him inside forcing the
08:13ball into the paint they need a bucket in a big way here to regain some confidence so for the timberwolves
08:21their last game a win against the clippers in la it's stolen by hachimura
08:30here's gillespie looking at his point production he averages almost eight points a game
08:35now filipowski it's good he makes his first shot of the game and just a step ahead of the d in that
08:50possession there making the pass nice assist here's shannon off the mark there with the three-point shot
08:58gone oh of two from deep here hachimura kicks to drummond and here's james outside nailed from three-point
09:10land when guys are moving the ball sharing it it makes the game so much more fun both as a player
09:16and as a fan here's ingles and he misses his first shot
09:23got it off in time and that shot was up in time but doesn't go in
09:26so at the end of one quarter of play still a close game
09:31minnesota on top up two stay with us as we get set to bring you the second quarter right after this
09:49and close game underway so far we'll see if either of these teams can jump out in the second quarter
09:55what do you guys think so far about the offensive approach for the timberwolves i've really been
10:00impressed with how aggressive they've been inside looking to capitalize from the paint whenever they
10:05can and another thing coach will be thrilled with the assist numbers spreading the wealth and creating
10:12some offensive opportunities they've got clark julius randall is out there with joe ingles and it's connelly
10:19and it's shannon in at the two so that's the lineup for minnesota nice ball movement there that's how
10:25you break down the defense timberwolves shooting at a decent 44 percent cliff here
10:33clark outside and that one falls coming off kindly speak
10:39clark's got himself going with the triple his first basket of the game
10:44past the game here's filipowski he dents the rim with a two-handed slam wow
10:50that those plays can make a difference in a game like this well you know it's going to fire up
10:57greg everybody on that bench and you can feel the jolt of energy that he sent through his team
11:03that is a huge boost in a tight game like this to the paint
11:10james with the bucket james has got seven points in the game nice touch there near the hoop
11:17timberwolves trail now let's take a minute to talk to allie before screenshot allie
11:22thanks guys the timberwolves coach chris finch said we're a team based on movement cutting and
11:28fluidity effort also falls on anthony edwards to move and accommodate his teammates for his part
11:33and said his focus is being what the team needs me to be a leader by example and showing them that
11:39i'm coachable kevin back to you all right allie thanks a lot yeah the chemistry has been terrific
11:44really impressed with their offensive execution
11:50handle on zone after shannon
11:56unloads from 13 score the basket is third after five shots taking full advantage of a gap in the
12:03mid-range coverage
12:16big bodies and soft hands well that's what these guys possess the top assistant centers and power
12:22forwards this year rui hatchimura on top you think of some of the great passing big men over the years and
12:30they are some of the best players ever i mean period i'm sure that's not lost on him
12:37now here's ellis james finds filibowski
12:42now here's ellis over by conley
12:47here's james good and the assist goes to ellis
12:51ellis has got three assists tonight a quality pass setting up a quality shot it's just textbook
12:57basketball and timeout called by chris finch looking for a breather and maybe adjusting a thing or two
13:11edwards he's checked in for the timberwolves
13:14here we are in november and let's see how things are going out east in the early season
13:19taking a look here at the visitors fourth in the conference an excellent season so far for them
13:23though they'd like to jump into the top tier maybe the top three
13:30and a little under two and a half minutes gone by here in the second quarter
13:35and it's off from three-point range
13:37the lebowski passes to hachimura and the duck by hachimura why he's a bit undersized for a four he
13:47more than makes up for it with his backs good on the shot and he's been a terrific point guard in this
13:54league for a long time mike conley just knows how to play gotten all of their first six shots to go in
14:02here in the second what a quarter so far
14:07ellis dishes to prince that's in he's got two made now and he's shooting two for three
14:13well if it ain't broke don't fix it they keep getting in the paint and continue to score consistently edwards
14:20finds clark sinks the three-pointer clark's got six here in this quarter and he has enough space he's
14:28more than comfortable letting it fly from outside break anthony edwards is full of confidence and
14:34it's beautiful to watch and rightfully so it can do it all on the floor as complete of a wing as you'll
14:42find in our league now here's conley a look at his stance he averages a bit over eight points a game
14:49ellis kicks to hatchimura
14:56minnesota with the rebound and last season they made short work of this club two games to win
15:03these guys are looking forward to this year now putting last season behind them you gotta love his
15:10hustle leaving the defense no time to react and all of a sudden that man was just on the other end wow

15:39hatchimura grabs the miss hatchimura's got four rebounds in this game

15:53crops in the layup for two hatchimura's got four points in the quarter the plan of attack is obvious
15:59get the ball inside it goes strong to the wind and timeout called by chris finch coach is going to
16:06talk some things over with the team might be seeing something to adjust
16:13some changes for minnesota
16:14rudy gobert is checked in for julius randall nick daniels comes in for joe ingles and it's dante
16:20divincenzo in for clark

16:48timberwolves trail by six here we go and he banks in the layup
16:53conley's got his second basket of the night it's always a positive thing for this offense
16:58when conley puts pressure on pass to hatchimura
17:01now here's prince ellis the best to goleski back to ellis
17:11it's prince on the wing over edwards
17:16prince can hit for minnesota they've gone six and twelve in the second quarter right at the 50
17:23mark from the field that is a perfect placement of that dime just guided it right to him nick daniel's
17:29gone two of four from the field pass to hatchimura and here's ellis for three trains the three-pointer
17:37ellis has got five now oh you expect ruey to finish that play but when a guy is this open he makes a quality pass
17:48and here is divincenzo
17:50conley with a wide open look d vincenzo kicks to edwards mcdaniels gets a wide open look from outside
18:00off the mark and the rebound battle split evenly thus far drummond passes to prince back to drummond
18:09the shot's good on the assist by prince yeah they've gone away from the triple as they look to protect this
18:16lead puts the move on for three edwards dives for it akumura grabs the miss
18:28it sprints on the wing pass to drummond over gobert and the ball goes out of bounds last touch by drummond
18:36on monday they'll be taking on farms vodner and the orlando magic then on wednesday they'll face off
18:44against brandon ingram and the toronto rat guys minnesota making a switch shannon's checked in
18:51timberwolves trail by seven
18:5340 seconds left in the first half of the game
18:59oh and that one no question powered it down and no doubt they'd love to see him get a lot more
19:10of those opportunities and that deficit will go away quickly if he does great now here's prince
19:16pass pass to go westby kicks it out to ellis over edwards and rebounded by mcdaniels and guys not
19:28sure where his head was on that shot not what this offense was designed to create and you couldn't get
19:34a better shot off like come on you've got to make the extra pass like being a teammate will go so far
19:39in this league i know what they say defense wins championships but you need some bucketers too now
19:46and a close game so far for the first two quarters as we reach halftime they're up by three now we
19:54have a moment to go courtside alley la forest has got something for us i'm here with chris finch and
19:59coach any adjustments that you'd like to see on the offensive end yeah i mean ideally we'd like to get
20:05some movement and get into a bunch of random pick and rolls and then we feel like keep the defense
20:09a little bit off balance but been a little sluggish so far tonight gotta put the defense back on its
20:15toes thanks coach thank you alley and folks don't go away halftime is here and we'll be right back
20:22with you after this break
20:24greetings everybody before we review the first half let's take an early season peek at how the
20:41western conference is shaking out so far well right now for minnesota they've had a great start to the
20:49season as we thought they might they play together they play for one another they're well coached this
20:55team is a team to watch for the rest of the year their offense is running like a machine there shack
21:02i mean they're making calculated decisions kind of like all of those degrees you have calculated
21:07degrees very consistent approach man i'm telling you man just like you yeah you can't speed them up or slow
21:14down and that about wraps it up and as the third quarter is about to begin we go to kevin harlan for
21:25the call
21:28and as we get into this third quarter as we've seen so far neither team able to create much
21:45separation on the scoreboard yet you look at james what a contribution no problems fighting his way to
21:51the rim in this one a lot of points in close and you love that mindset he has going at the rim he
21:58hasn't settled for anything and he's been the aggressor all game long
22:11and if you're just joining us we've played through the first half in a game that's been
22:14fairly even so far we've got key on ellis prince out there with hatchy murray then there's andre drummond
22:21and it's gillespie in at the point pass to prince here's gillespie back to prince
22:30here's ellis banked in off the glass ellis has got seven and greg everyone talks about the importance of
22:37basketball iq can you win in the nba with a low iq team boy it would be tough i mean there's a reason
22:47younger teams typically don't win at the highest level but you need to take those lumps and get that
22:53experience and learn from those lessons prince's shot is good timberwolves trail by five
23:01out to edwards back to divincenzo timberwolves fixing it around gobert no good diversified scoring
23:13in this one for him i love when everyone can get involved a full team effort that makes three in a row
23:21to start the second half
23:26now here's divincenzo tight defense on him
23:31mcdaniels outside and a miss there on the triple gone three of three from the field since
23:39halftime gillespie the pass to prince here's gillespie back to ellis he's looking for prince and
23:49finds him ellis outside over edwards off the mark from 16 feet out their first miss since the break
23:59still i like how they've come out so far
24:03divincenzo passes to gobert
24:06played in with a nice touch off the glass six points for rudy gobert that makes it 10 of their
24:13last 12 coming from inside the paint
24:16pass to hatchimura
24:23prince in the corner shoots over mcdaniel prince misses timberwolves trail by five
24:30and here's edwards from the arc it's drummond with the rebound not quite enough defense that time
24:37around just lucky he was off ellis and he uses the glass on the layup ellis has got nine i love
24:45his shot selection today he set the bar for the rest of the team
24:50master randall
24:53here's d vincenzo back to randall and he floats in for the easy two right at the assist on that one
25:00and you gotta love the big bucket in the paint in this sort of a grind it out game and now let's
25:06send it over to our courtside reporter ali la force hey anthony edwards is truly a superstar on
25:13the rise he said quote people forget how young i am i'm not even touching my prime yet i'm just
25:18trying to get more efficient as every year goes by back to you guys yep a star on the run
25:24allie la force with the report hey allie thanks edwards drives in
25:29you can't let edwards get in the lane outstanding at using that burst of speed on the drive
25:37gillespie the best well
25:42there's gillespie to the left side wing
25:46that humor on no good
25:49outside edwards for the time
25:51rebound andre drummond drummond's got his fourth rebound with that last one here tonight
25:58yeah it feels like he's cursing things look what will happen he's trying to help his team
26:02the d just kind of stepping aside and letting him get to the rim there's a reason ga the lead is what
26:09it is right now yeah it's going to take better rim protection than that if they're going to climb out
26:14of this hole lebowski he's checking for hechimer and now let's bring up the 2k leaderboard so we
26:21can see and check out some of the most feared defenders in the league the steel leaders among
26:27shooting guards fifth best anthony edwards and this is a very intense group i mean those steals
26:34don't come by accident i mean they've gotten them through the effort and they're willing to expend
26:40that kind of energy on that aspect of the game yeah the kind of active defense these guys play
26:46require a lot of stamina and they don't have an off switch it's all effort all the time
26:52here's gillespie following the basket by julius randall
26:57shoots over he vincenzo the jump shot is good
27:01gillespie has got six oh i love that possession for them ending with an assisted bucket here's gobert
27:08and finished off by gobert big man taking it to the hole gobert with a head of steam that time
27:17here's truman and it's good off the back of the rim and in
27:21he has six rate of baskets assisted it's a stat i really like it tells the story of how well you are
27:27playing team offense
27:32even chenzo passes to gobert and finished off by gobert not stopping that gobert from there
27:40is right around 100 percent prince in the corner it's ellis on the wing pass to drummond
27:46pelipowski in the corner out to the wing
27:48drummond dishes to prince back to drummond prince outside and here's ellis from beyond the arc good
28:01and a nice assist from prince prince has got his third assist on the night jimberwolves trail by six
28:12and here is de vincenzo he gives a bit of a scoring lift to the team averaging eight points again
28:18randall with the bucket and this is how randall likes to operate taking it in
28:23to the defense over and over again
28:36and it's a completely new lineup for minnesota
28:47gone eight of twelve from the field since the beginning of the third
28:57rumen finds filibowski
29:00gillespie that's good
29:02gillespie's got four points this quarter the assist totals heaven just continue to grow they're way ahead
29:09in that category ball movement has been flawless ball stolen
29:14over in the corner ellis pass to gillespie now here's drummond prince outside
29:25and here's ellis from beyond the arc that ball is good for another field goal his 60 is six for nine on the
29:34snatch sheet he's looked practically unstoppable this quarter the defense yeah well they have
29:40nap nap in the ancestry shannon no good i'd love to see them impose themselves a little more on the backboard
29:48that's a great way to find confidence always a surefire way to get back in the game
29:53now here's prince they lead by their biggest margin of the game
29:59pass to ellis pocket four over clunk
30:02ellis can't get it to go and he rushed that one no doubt about it the d allen's position you can see
30:08the frustration on his face and the basket by ingles you got to do more than that to keep the ball out of
30:15his hands down low agreed he's just too dominant inside so you're better off stopping him from
30:21getting the ball in the first place now here's prince he's got eight there's a four second difference
30:27from the shot clock to the game clock pulls from the top of the key rebound minnesota and guys not
30:34sure where his head was on that shot not what this offense was designed to create and you couldn't get a
30:40better shot off like come on you've got to make the extra pass like being a teammate will go so far
30:46well through three quarters of play down double digits it may be difficult to overcome
30:51up 10 and we'll get it going after this from the target center
30:55and with three quarters behind us let's see what this fourth period holds in store for us
31:15and so connelly will bring the ball up for minnesota it's a 10-point game at the conclusion
31:20of this game they're off to detroit where they'll face the pistons that'll be just one game played
31:25away from home for them we've got joe ingles also julius randall out there clark is out there with
31:31connelly and it's shannon in at the shooting guard so that's the lineup for minnesota
31:37here's randall filipowski grabs the board gone five of ten from downtown tonight 50 exactly james outside
31:48on the wing james here's james picking up the assist and really that's what you want every time down the
32:00floor a simple high percentage shot
32:02pass to ingles
32:11we're just over a minute into this final quarter of play
32:15and the shot is good this is one of those nights where he's been very good but his team is losing
32:20and that's just an odd feeling and here is james
32:23inside and they double up james puts it up
32:32hachimura no good
32:35timberwolves trail by 12. here's shannon and the three off target
32:45gone two of three from the field to get the fourth quarter start
32:47pass to larson pulls it up crane for two points nice ball movement there delivered the pass right on time
33:00handle outside
33:09and james pulls it down not his best efficiency this quarter and look sometimes that's how it goes
33:15back to filipowski and it's in there filipowski's got six here in this quarter
33:20nice speed inside saw the play develop and hit him right when he needed to
33:26has to randall
33:28fades away does not go down that miss makes him seven for 12 in the game
33:34and with his team trying to trim this margin his struggles this quarter yeah they're not helping things
33:39and here is hachimura he's covered by clark
33:46six on the shot clock
33:50ingles with the rebound ingles has got his fourth rebound with that last one here tonight
33:58outside conley elbow shot is on the way the shot's good and conley such a high
34:04iq when the mid-range opens up like that he goes right up without hesitation
