These might be topics that may have been overlooked the previous night, or just topics Ratke wants to write about. The Wolves actually held a 111-102 advantage with 2:11 remaining, but they allowed the Lakers to make a 9-1 run and take things down to the wire. His shooting woes persisted in the fourth quarter as he at one point missed six consecutive shots.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be sent to the Flip Saunders Legacy Fund. They say the fund will be “solely devoted to aiding and supporting deserving individuals or groups and continue the positive impact of the life of coach Flip Saunders”. “I just love it”, he said later.
The Kings hosted another Los Angeles team on opening, losing to the Clippers, 111-104, in an entertaining battle that saw DeMarcus Cousins and Blake Griffin go head to head.
“It was great. Obviously a completely different outcome then from previous year”, Randle said. “But even though Flip’s gone, he will stay with us forever”. “I’m just building confidence behind it”, Cousins told reporters. What you want to do is get guys on the court and get them back playing basketball. Despite this, Bryant thought that the last play was an acceptable one. Scott described that season as “a circus everywhere we went”. Lakers public address announcer Lawrence Tanter also led a moment of silence.
“Yeah. Right now, we’re elated”.
“Coach brought us all here for a reason”.
Skip ahead through titles and records, through turmoil and injury, and Lakers public address announcer Lawrence Tanter introduced a sold-out crowd to a 6-foot-6 forward from Lower Merion High School.
A very emotional night very everyone. A defensive specialist with a team that can’t play defense, despite having Hibbert on the team. “Even now, it’s just a matter of not doing too much, because I don’t really look at it as training”. He’s been working with shooting guru Mike Penberthy again this year to ideal his shot. While the common assumption is that the 2015-16 season will be the Mamba’s last, Scott isn’t convinced we’ve seen that last of Bryant.
Toronto has won its last five games against Indiana.
Well, that’s kind of a stupid question (sorry, random guy at basketball).
Rubio also had 14 assists and Kevin Martin scored 23 points. It is another good sign for the Wolves, as Rubio is 25 years old now and expected to be a leader. This precise script played out over and over last season. “So if he would’ve gotten the Gopher job, obviously not saying I would’ve went there, it definitely would’ve made it more appealing because I already had a relationship with Flip and I knew what he offered as far as a coach”.
“I keep it next to my desk at home”, Terry said.
“It’s unbelievable”, Scott said of Bryant’s longevity.
As time expired, Lou Williams shot what could-have-been the game-winning shot for the Lakers.
If nothing more, they showed us that they are ready to all play as a unit.
It might be a long season for the Black Mamba.
