Mathurin keeping the Pacers in this one. He has 11 of their 27 points. Great energy and toughness off the bench. – 7:41 PM

No Jordan McLaughlin means the offense coming off the bench has been a little clunky. Pacers go on a run to end the quarter and the Wolves, who were up 17, lead 29-21 at the end of one. – 7:35 PM

Timberwolves are the best 1Q team, Pacers are 30th in points. And that’s how it’s gone thus far.
Timberwolves out to a 21-8 lead; Gobert is having his way inside and McDaniels has the clamps on Haliburton. – 7:26 PM

Rudy Gobert with 5 shot attempts so far after not having one Monday. They aren’t forcing him the ball either. Wolves are finding him in good spots within the structure of what they’re doing. Broadcast pointed out he was a little sore with a rolled ankle, we’ll see if he’s OK. – 7:20 PM

Rick Carlisle emphasized to his team that tonight will be “a different level of basketball.”
Wolves have won 4 straight, Pacers 6 in a row.
As for Jackson’s ankle, it is not believed to be serious. There was a chance he was going to be available tonight. But he will not. – 5:26 PM
