Anthony Edwards being out for the 2nd half switches up a few things…
– LaMelo now guarded by Vando/DLo (Ant was on him)
– More McDaniels usage
– Nowell in the rotation
– Pat Bev getting more on-ball reps as point (which slows down the O A LOT — not necessarily a bad thing) – 9:50 PM

No Anthony Edwards in the second half method Jaylen Nowell gets reinserted into the rotation. Nowell has been the strange man out the past few weeks. – 9:46 PM

So ends the longest first half in recorded history. 58-52 Charlotte.
Wolves just can’t hit a shot, and the defense that was there at the start faded late. – 9:21 PM

Danilo Gallinari, who currently has 21 points after three quarters of play, has tallied 20+ points for the second time this season (12/6/21 at MIN, 20 PTS). – 9:18 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
Anthony Edwards hobbles off the floor and is headed back to the locker room.
Not sure, but I think I heard him say “my toe”. – 9:16 PM

KAT sees all types of double teams.
Tonight, Charlotte’s plan is to send a double when James Borrego whistles. I remember Terry Stotts used to do the same thing when he was Portland’s coach.
This will rule to later than normal doubles. KAT has to go quick. – 8:54 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
3 pt shooting in the 1st qtr:
MIN: 4-18
CHA: 1-11
Hornets have nothing for KAT. But they did a nice job absorbing the first punch and getting back in it. – 8:37 PM

Anthony Edwards talked after the Chicago game about how he wanted to guard DeMar DeRozan, but Finch didn’t let him.
Looks like Ant got his way tonight, guarding LaMelo Ball. This will be interesting to track — particularly because LaMelo isn’t guarding Ant (he’s on PatBev). – 8:18 PM

Erik Spoelstra says Tyler Herro (knee) possibly out by the All-Star break (which basically would also average Thursday in Charlotte). – 5:53 PM Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
Spoelstra said he’s discussing with training staff whether it’s best to rest Herro’s sore knee by All Star break (which would average only one more game – Thursday in Charlotte – beyond tonight’s game. He’s out tonight). No structural damage for Herro. – 5:53 PM Tas Melas @TasMelas
