    That might be the most frustrating game I have ever watched not featuring the Rockets.

    From the absolute hatchet job by the officials, to Minnesota's horrendous basketball IQ across the entire game in every facet.

    They should've still blown out Memphis in that game even with the refs letting the Grizzlies murder anyone in the paint.

    Teammates fighting over rebounds resulting in Memphis getting the second chance points, unable to throw simple passes and disgusting turnovers over and over again, my personal favourite though was the copious amounts of times Minny had to step on Memphis' throat but just instead decided to kill all their own momentum with pathetic fast break/contested shot attempts.

    Should have won the series 4-1. Instead are down 3-2.

    What a dumb, dumb, dumb, DUMB team.

    The Wolves are missing something....killer instinct? another crunch time performer? I don't know but all I do know is that KAT spends too much energy and time talking the talk with X amount of minutes left in the game. Like how about you keep playing your game, actually win the game, and THEN talk ****? Don't get wrapped up in all of that stuff with like 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter, especially after you blew a 20+ lead to the same team not too long ago.

    No. The official nba rulebook includes a "Comments on the Rules Section." https://official.nba.com/comments-on-the-rules/#contact Section 2 of those comments explains that "A player who extends a hand, forearm, shoulder, hip or leg into the path of an opponent and thereby causes contact is not considered to have a legal position in the path of an opponent." In turn, Subsection 2b states that "a player is not considered to have legal position in the path of an opponent if the opponent performs a ****ing sick enough dunk."
