      There could be a big impact on the series from Jokic confronting McDaniels for running up the score with a buzzer beater. Jokic may be slapped with a suspension, but so could some of the guys on the Wolves bench since the fight was so close and there is not much space between “stood up to see what was going on” and “ran into the fight going on a foot away”.

      Gritty, but cursed, win for Minnesota. Dante is done for the playoffs and probably most of next year. I really hope Ant’s injury is mild, but can’t imagine he plays again in this series.

      Gobert has insane wingspan but can’t fully extend them on offense except when catching lobs. Praying mantis syndrome.

      Oh man looks like Donte’s achilles snapped. That sucks.

      Edit: He did walk by himself to the locker room, so hopefully it wasn’t a full achilles tear.
