Nowell on D’Angelo Russell:
“He’s one of the best playmakers in the league, for real, coming off that screen the way he can score. The ability he has scoring and then add the fact that when two guys come at him or something like that, he just makes a hard pass look very simple.” – 12:14 AM

Jaylen Nowell on playing more spread PnR:
“The corner was open a lot today. When I’m handling it, just coming down, I feel like I had every option today. Get to the rim, the roller, the corner pass, even behind to the top of the key pass. I felt like every single option was open” – 12:13 AM

Asked Rudy Gobert postgame about how playing more spread pick and roll can benefit this team
The kicker line: “Whenever everyone touches the ball, it’s a different feeling. A different feeling. It’s a feeling of togetherness.”

Rudy Gobert when asked about the Wolves search for a consistent defensive scheme:
“It doesn’t really matter what scheme we use. If you can guard your man, and if I can protect the rim, and if you get those rebounds, we’re gonna be in a good position.” – 11:49 PM

Wendell Moore Jr. found out 10 minutes before the pregame meeting that he was going to start and guard Ja tonight. Had no idea he would PLAY, let alone start.

Finch when asked how aggressive defense impacts Anthony Edwards’ offense:

First time in his career he started, didn’t leave due to injury, and only grabbed one board.

The Grizzlies have the most turnovers they’ve had in a game since Nov. 29, 2015. Three off the franchise record of 29 (set by Vancouver in 1995).
And they somehow only trail by 2 with more than 5 minutes left to play. – 10:15 PM

This sort of shell concept defensively, where the Wolves are switching a lot and being intentional about sagging to the boxes and elbows, seems to really be fitting Anthony Edwards.
The block obviously stood out, but more of a free concept has led to better off-ball rotations. – 9:44 PM

Gotta give Wendell Moore Jr. at least some credit for how poorly Ja Morant is playing — he’s been the primary matchup on Ja all night.
Moore is getting involved on offense too, predominantly as a ball-mover but he also just confidently hit a 3. – 9:32 PM

Jaren Jackson Jr. has never averaged more than 4.4 free-throw attempts. He’s at 5.8 so far this season. With as aggressive as he’s been, I think six free-throw attempts per game should be the minimum. Tough to stop him when he puts the ball on the floor and attacks smaller guys. – 8:52 PM

The offensive struggles without KAT are evident early.
Anderson leads the team with 4 shots in 4 minutes. Wolves are 1-6.
11-2 Memphis – 8:15 PM
