Ugly Memf-Minn game.
I almost always root for OT , especially when I tune in for the 2nd half of a replay. But this was such a mistake-fest I dreaded OT.
Maybe the classic play was tied in OT with 30 secs left, Gasol drives bumps into Taj has it stripped, everybody ends up on the ground.
Jump ball with 27 secs left. Tied.
KAT v. Gasol. KAT totally whiffs on the toss. Gasol just has to bat it to his guy, but awkwardly hits it towards the floor. Ball kicks around, everyone ends up on the floor again. Another jump ball. That kind of ugly scrappy game.
MINi wins the 2nd jump ball. Wiggins holds for the last shot and clanks an ugly 18 footer off the back iron. He finished 4-19 FG and looked awful. Long rebound towards the corner. KAT gets it and gets off an 18 footer with 0.01 left. Swish. Game over.
Gasol and Conley both had airballs in OT.
One play, Griz drive and kicked it to the corner. Jackson holds it, hesitates, then throws up a one-handed prayer. there was still 6 on the shot clock, but he seemed to panic.
Not good to see Bayless outplay Conley late 4Q and OT.
MInny starters went 2-21 on 3's.
As for Wiggins, is he just dumb??
Rose & Covington were out, so I'll give MIN a pass. But that was a real ugly game. KAT was apparently in foul trouble much of the game, then 4 mins left in the 3rd, he bangs into Gasol on a 3, gtes his 4th foul and has to sit again. Terrible foul, since it was a late contest on a 7 footer. And after he lunged out, he turned around to watch the shot, not noticing that he was bumping into Gasol. Ugly.
