Game Summary:
I'm gonna make this quick. There wasn't much good to say about this game. I think you all would be shocked to see that the Wolves only trailed by 3 after the first quarter. And even at halftime it was 12 points. But in the second half, the Wolves continued to miss shots frequently and turn the ball over. This by all metrics was the Wolves worst game of the season. One heck of a time to have this. 
I will admit, I didn't think Minnesota would play too terribly well in this series. The cards just aren't in hand this year, the Wolves are missing their top defender and their best bench player in a series that requires defense and depth. So I wouldn't expect much out of this series, hopefully they aren't all 29 point blowouts.

Up Next
The Wolves will get a day off like the rest of the NBA playoff teams and play Game 2 in Denver on Wednesday at 9 PM CT.
