I caught the last 6 minutes of this game.
Wolves trailed by 16 but went on a 20-4 run to get it to OT missed a good shot to win it in reg.
Ant was dinged and did not play much of 4th.
It was young guys like Terrance Shannon and Dillingham that helped McDaniel ect grab this win.
They doubled SGA the whole qtr and the others couldn't get it done. Luka did not play in that stretch.

Minny wins 116-98. Luka was 0-1 from the field in every bit of the minute and a half of playing time he got. BTW Gobert did not play.

Kevin Durant, Devin Booker & Bradley Beal are the Suns' "big 3." It's surprising to me that they are just 28-33 with the 11th best record in the Western Conference. Heck, they are 4 games out from from even making the Play-in Tournament.

Yesterday Minnesota (43-32) beat Detroit (42-33) in Minneapolis, 123-104.

Luka played just 2 minutes, was 1-1 inside the arc (he didn't attempt a three) and 2-2 from the FT line for 4 points, 1 assist.

At this moment (in the video below), Luka had yet to enter the game. Detroit had to pick the guy who shot FTs and they chose Luka. He hit them both.

The crowd, as you can see, loved it.

Naz Reid got fouled, but he got ejected. Somebody had to shoot the FTs!

Watch both videos for context of how Luka made his way to the FT line. ;)

I guess, technically, he scored 2 points in 5 seconds of playing time.
