Game 2 podcast: Luka's dagger, Ant's no-show, KAT benched and more
Chip Scoggins and Michael Rand went into all the gory details of the Wolves’ 109-108 heartbreaking loss to Dallas in Game 2 of the Western Conference finals. Can Minnesota regain its edge in a must-win game Sunday on the road?
Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns shot just 9 for 33 combined in the game. Edwards’ indecisiveness and poor decision-making led to two turnovers in the final minute, while Towns sat on the bench for most of the fourth quarter as the Wolves tried to ride Reid’s hot hand.
Questionable coaching decisions and poor adjustments also told the story on a frustrating night that left the Wolves in an 0-2 hole heading to Dallas for Sunday’s Game 3.
