Finch with a VERY quick timeout after the Poole 3. Someone missed an assignment that they harped on in the locker room to get that rare reaction. – 9:25 PM

The Wizards take a 70-60 lead into halftime against the T’Wolves. 3rd quarter will be huge, as always for the Wiz who are 30th in net rating in the 3rd (-16.4), while the Wolves are 1st (+13.6). – 9:12 PM

Just as @JonKrawczynski predicted (but actually), the Wizards lead the Timberwolves 44-26 after one. Naz Reid was ejected after hitting Johnny Davis in the head with an elbow. The Wiz are 17-27 from the floor and 9-13 from three. – 8:38 PM

Added a couple of columns to the West Playoff Snapshot.
For the Nuggets, a win tonight guarantees a Top 3 seed, but they have to win out if they want top 2.
(Winning out guarantees them top 1 anyway because MIN would be handed a loss tomorrow)
