00:00 I thought there was a lot of good stuff from the team
00:01 tonight.
00:02 Obviously, the game really just came down to our inability
00:06 to take care of the ball.
00:07 17 turnovers for 27 points.
00:12 We shot the ball well.
00:13 We had 25 assists on 39 made baskets.
00:18 But ultimately, our inability to take care of the ball
00:23 hurt us.
00:23 I think the hardest part is that a lot of those turnovers
00:26 felt like they were on the ball.
00:29 It wasn't as many passing turnovers.
00:31 I mean, there were some, but just got stripped far too
00:35 many times tonight.
00:38 And credit to Minnesota.
00:40 Anthony Edwards hit some tough shots
00:42 in the fourth quarter, which that's who he is.
00:47 He's an all-star.
00:47 He's a hell of a player.
00:49 But I felt like we put ourselves in a position to win the game.
00:55 Going into the fourth quarter, tie game at home.
00:57 It's all you can ask for.
01:00 Turnovers is really the story.
01:02 How did you think Lowry looked on his first game back?
01:05 Yeah, I thought he had some good moments.
01:08 I thought he played pretty physical around the basket.
01:12 Didn't settle for a ton of threes.
01:14 I thought he used his size and physicality pretty well
01:17 tonight.
01:18 Looked like he had a little bit of a burst, which was nice.
01:21 Had the drive and the dunk.
01:23 I thought that first step we haven't seen in a little while.
01:28 Obviously, struggled taking care of the ball a little bit.
01:30 Got the ball stripped and batted away a few times.
01:32 But there's some rust to be expected.
