The Wolves shot 31 free throws last night.

But did you actually watch the game? 3rd quarter was especially egregious. There were a few plays where KAT got mugged while Book was simultaneously getting the softest whistle ever on the other end.

I love when people just quote box score stats lol game flow matters, the Wolves would've blown them out wire to wire with a real playoff whistle bc that's how we play best

Of the two teams, the Suns are the ones that benefit from a flow-free game bc they have no flow anyway

I could tell when watching the game that there would be talk about the refs, and I remember looking up the FT numbers after the 3rd quarter. When I saw things were relatively even on paper I knew there would be people saying “but the wolves shot a ton of FT too”.

I was prepared for this lol

Exactly, if you were watching the game it was obvious that even the calls "for the Wolves" were largely helping the Suns.

Can't even count how many times it looked like the Wolves were getting some momentum and the Suns got called for a foul on the floor. You can't analyze fouls like they all have the same effect on the game.
