LaMelo and Ayo combine for 50 to carry the offense again, Rudy with a big double-double, Jaden +17, and it was a night where the Wolves' bench really showed up and was fantastic. Another W to move to 8-3 as they keep on rollin’

LaMelo is heating up. 19 points and counting. That left slot three feels automatic right now for him.

Not a great offensive start for the Wolves or Jazz. Bench unit has been sharp with 16 points. Getting good looks, they’ll start to fall.

LaMelo Ball turned it all the way up once again in the 4th when the Wolves needed him to run the show. What a blast to watch him orchestrate the offense. Absolute cinema as a floor general. Makes the game so much easier for everyone. THE GRAVITY!!! 22 PTS, 8 dimes, game-best +23.

I like to imagine Trey Lyles reading the tweets about him not playing well mid-game only to come up with like 5 great plays to help them win.

LaMelo is held and hand checked a lot. Defenders have hands on him on the perimeter all the time, every game with few whistles.

Wolves held Dejounte Murray and Zion Williamson to 4 points in the first half on 8 shots. If it weren’t for the Matković scoring explosion, they’d be up double digits. Pelicans want to get out and run so taming their fastbreak is key in the second half.
