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.

Herb Jones looks like he cannot wait to be traded.

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.

Someone stop Karlo Matković! He’s going wild on the Wolves. 16 points in 8 minutes. He averages 9.3 ppg.

Ahhh, what’s that noise? It sounds like LaMelo Ball, Jonathan Kuminga, and the Wolves said it’s WINNING TIME. A masterful final 8 minutes in Houston to lead the Wolves to victory. Ball was brilliant down the stretch after a rough first three quarters. The defense was ferocious!!

My wife and baby are sound asleep but all i want to do is howl at the top of my lungs. What an effort by the Wolves battling it out in Houston all night long vs. a very dangerous 7-1 club. A big win to move to 6-3. What a fourth. What a finish.

LaMelo committed 3 fouls in 24 seconds. Then came down and drained a triple to tie the ball game, then hit two free throws to tie again. They’ll need everything out of Ball to close this one out.

LAMELO hits a trey on the next possession. 8 of his 16 points happen in a flash.

It’s been a good one in Houston. 25 lead changes. Wolves go back to the starters with 8 minutes left, down 92-91.
