Tonight, Anthony Edwards is looking to post his 10th consecutive game with 30+ PTS vs the Utah Jazz. 11/10/25 - 35 11/7/25 - 37 4/13/25 - 43 3/16/25 - 41 1/30/25 - 36 3/18/24 - 32 3/16/24 - 31 11/4/23 - 31 2/8/23 - 31

It is a damn shame this game came on an NFL playoff date because the Wemby vs Ant duel was absolutely fantastic. Just ridiculous bucket getting from both of the young superstars.

Good showcase of Joan Beringer's mobility. Catching up to De'Aaron Fox's rapid first step off the catch on the perimeter and getting the block at the rim.

I think this is the first relevant possession of NBA basketball for Leonard Miller. Questionable switch, easy Kornet roll. Alright

Anthony Edwards' fly-by awareness is pure art

Impressive OREB tip-in ball tracking from Joan Beringer.

Clean late clock connection between Anthony Edwards and Joan Beringer. I like the pass intentionality from 5.

The Wolves really struggled to find a unit that could work defensively after Beringer found himself in some foul trouble. Wemby’s 2Q was also ridiculous. The step up threes were killer. Beringer subbed out at 9:10, Wemby outscored them 17 - 15 for the remainder of the period.

We saw a glimpse of Jaden at the 4 Randle at the 5 minutes since Naz Reid was injured and Rudy Gobert did not play. Two easy Kornet buckets to extend the Spurs lead. Randle has to drop to Kornet on the second possession.

Victor Wembanyama swiped down on the PnR ball-handler then disrupted the lob, what a fucking freak bro.

I wrote about it in my recent piece and detailed it in my Milwaukee notes. Joan Beringer's OREB motor is sick, and it will extend so many possessions.

Nice team defense possession in the zone look from Jaylen Clark in helpside and Joan Beringer holding his ground on Luke Kornet off the Dylan Harper connective dumpoff. I like how Beringer explodes laterally.

Keldon Johnson is having such a fun season, by far my favorite Spurs storyline of the year. He showed some real promise admist the Spurs tanking seasons, so its cool to see him impact winning. Shooting 64% on 2P attempts at 6'6"!

Two more Jaden McDaniels to Joan Beringer connections vs San Antonio.

I know players can get bumped and look injured and be just fine. But Naz Reid was grimacing and grabbing his shoulder in between so many possessions. Hope all is good. He has been so healthy throughout his NBA career, outside of the wrist fracture.

The curls from Donte DiVincenzo remain so volatile. It is good that he can get paint touches based around his 3P shooting gravity, but defenses are not going to tilt his way when he is inside the arc. Forcing a jump pass decision is also not ideal. I also know, Wemby is scary.

Joan Beringer got his long awaited rotational debut Tuesday, and he showed a ton of promise. Below, I detailed his offense and defense against Milwaukee, and why this performance could push Finch’s hand to include him in the end of rotation grouping.

Still cannot upload large files here, so here is a link to my detailed, involved defensive possession tape I compiled and titled from Joan Beringer's rotational debut vs Milwaukee last night. Enjoy.

Giannis' body language last night in the blowout loss to the Wolves was a bit eye opening. I know, the team is meh and the game was not close after the 1Q, but wow.

Giannis was blocked by the rim, but the help side anticipation and awareness from Joan Beringer here stands out regardless.

cool tidbit from the bucks broadcast

I have always loved the Jaden McDaniels to Rudy Gobert dump-offs and lobs. Cool to see Jaden face up and find Joan Beringer.

Ball screen forces AJ Green onto Julius Randle. Jaylen Clark sets the screen for the corner outlet, KPJ and Bobby Portis cannot figure it out, no help, Randle dunk. Middle of the floor Randle touches have fun upside with how well he can kickout. Bucks defense though lol.

Fantastic eye manipulation and read from Mr Randle

The fact that it took this long into Joan Beringer's first real rotational minutes to make a rookie mistake is something I can live with.

I am not going to speak absolutes because I am sure Joan Beringer was hungry with his opportunity tonight, Still, the motor looks good. OREB back tap after a Mike Conley grenade leads to two points for Julius Randle. Winning play.

There are very few players that I have seen with Jaylen Clark's knack for getting sneaky poke steals. He was a menace at it at UCLA. Recognizes Giannis backing down and takes off instantaneously.

Joan Beringer mobile rotational defense flash

Very subtle, and you do not always want backside help to give up a potential putback. However, Joan Beringer using all of his might to contest high on the drive, then somehow getting his hand on the rebound feels kinda crazy?

Excellent PnR defense rep from Joan Beringer. Stepping up to KPJ, settling back to Jericho Sims as Bones Hyland recovers. Then stunting before getting back to disrupt the pass. You can argue that the processing from KPJ is pretty bad here, but I like the positioning from Joan.

Bones Hyland has Jericho Sims on the switch, but the possession looks a little stagnant. He elects to take him off the dribble, gets to the paint, and finds Jaden McDaniels in the opposite corner for three. Credit Jaden for the re-positoning too!

Chris Finch and the Wolves staff love to incorporate these exit screens with the initiator. It gets the ball into the half-court, allows another threat to get a touch, adds an extra outlet, and makes the defense keep moving and have to react. It's simple but very effective.

Donte DiVincenzo isolation drive and kick leads to ball reversal and a corner three for Jaden McDaniels. Don't see DDV advantage create like that too often, but yet again it is Bobby Portis in aggressive helpside and rotation lol.

that is what we nerds in the industry call gravity

Pretty Wolves possession. Pitch back between Bones Hyland and Donte DiVincenzo, DDV clear out to open up the empty side while Bones flows into a double drag. Naz Reid flare, reset with a Rudy handoff into empty corner DHO for a Reid finish. Whew. That's a lot to guard.

Crazy late find from Wemby, so close to a solid possession from the Wolves. Ideally, Naz comes across to cover Lindy Waters, or Ant sticks wide and Naz slides to Waters. Credit to Champganie's baseline crash because without that, Ant is close enough to Waters.

Impressive body control from Anthony Edwards, finishing around Victor Wembanyama.

Three Rudy Gobert vs Victor Wembanyama possessions from their matchup Sunday. What do you do with Vic man.

Two straight possessions, two Donte DiVincenzo pindown 3PM. I feel like we don't appreciate how nice it is to have Donte fill that movement shooter void left by Malik Beasley years ago.

I sure wonder what the scouting report on Stephon Castle is. Nice to see them actually double Wemby and pivot away from the 26.1% 3P shooter.

Good utilization of flow here. DHO between Donte DiVincenzo and Naz Reid. Naz flows into the flare out, gets the pass from Donte, but then has Rudy Gobert there to re-screen and give him a lay to his right. Well defended by Luke Kornet, tough make from Nazreon.

Feels like it has been a while since we have had a patented Rudy Gobert entry pass steal.

omg the wolves ran an elevator screen 2Q ATO?!?!

Jaden McDaniels' footwork bag continues to grow. Sick step through. Short mid-range has always been automatic, great touch there.

I love Julius Randle's passing ability when in the right context. A sped up Randle that is forced to make a quick decision often results in positive offense for the Wolves. Very simple semi-transition possession, but the read of the near corner help leads to a 3PM.

I like this look a lot. Iverson screens for Jaden McDaniels, elbow entry for Julius Randle. Randle finds McDaniels on the back door.

More mid-range shot making later in the 1Q from Anthony Edwards. Getting Stephon Castle to jump on the fly by (something Ant has done really well on his transition and semi-transition 3PA). Also, a very effective Iverson screen from Naz Reid to free him in the first place.

Jaden McDaniels' underrated touch and incredible length continue to allow him to seek easy offense on mismatches. Credit him for the handle really tightening up to take advantage of these opportunities more frequently. He also does a great job using his back to shield the ball.

Not scoring a point until you are down by 16, not good. Anthony Edwards' footwork and awareness on this middy, very good. Honestly, still a good second jump contest from Champagnie, better offense.
