The Antagonist
It’s been less than a week since the Clippers faced the Wolves, but the Wolves feel like they may have turned a corner. Between their strong defense that won them the game against the Clippers and their drubbing of the Lakers earlier this week, the Wolves have reached .500 at 10-10 and their defense has risen all the way up to 7th. It’s just two games, but the Wolves have a lot of talent, and their defense should be better than it has been so far. They will be a very difficult opponent with the Clippers tired out on the second night of a back-to-back.
That’s really it for this – the number of games without much
of a break is getting to be a lot. The Clippers finally have some rest soon,
and we can start taking a longer look at what’s been going on so far this year.
