Kyle Anderson: Best of 25-26 Season

Added: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]Special kind of physical basketball that Chris Finch says sets the tone for his team. Alan and Jim, we've seen that already early in this one. No doubt, Leah. Thank you. Julius has drawn three fouls early on. Yeah, and then when there's three on the ball, even more so.

[00:00:13]I mean, there was just talking about the Julius Randle offensive foul.

[00:00:18]Kyle sifting his way to the rim.

[00:00:21]When the Wolves outshoot their opponents, that's a great sign. They're 36 and three this year.

[00:00:26]Third best record in the NBA. KYLE ANDERSON BACK DOOR. KYLE, the lay-in.

[00:00:31]Pretty pass.

[00:00:34]Other end of the floor, other side of the floor.

[00:00:37]That was a monster dunk on that one. Oh, drive-by Slow-Mo.

[00:00:42]Beat Mamukelashvili. A little left, a little right.

[00:00:46]He's got to figure it out here.

[00:00:48]Anderson bombs and got the roll.

[00:00:54]Edwards >> Edwards one for seven, Dotson's one for eight. Slow-Mo with the back door cut.

[00:01:02]Feeds to McDaniels for the floater. They just have They're younger. This is Qwai's team, too, by the way.

[00:01:08]Yep.

[00:01:09]Face up Mathurin lost it, came down with it, goes back up, missed the shot.

[00:01:15]I'm not really an apron guy when I barbecue. Do you Do you have an apron on No, I I don't.

[00:01:20]I probably could. I probably should. A lot of my t-shirts have got lots of nice Trying to put this thing to bed with nine minutes left to play.

[00:01:28]>> And we talked about the battle from the sixth man perspective in this game.

[00:01:32]As Slow-Mo gets one to go there. Anthony Edwards And Jaden Ivey In the final 23 seconds of the first quarter, buries a triple.

[00:01:44]And you ask what And Dosunmu rebound, Anderson.

[00:01:51]Bones Hyland free to fire.

[00:01:54]And right there, rebound by Naz Reid.

[00:01:56]Outlet.

[00:01:59]Yeah, no second chance opportunities really for Minnesota.

[00:02:05]Anderson takes it away.

[00:02:08]First turnover by the Thunder. On the other end the floater and Booker finding the scoring lane. Three consecutive trips. After the veteran Anderson spinning in the lane.

[00:02:18]It's the roll.

[00:02:20]Anderson was picked up early March.

[00:02:23]18 points in the paint for the Phoenix Suns as well.

[00:02:31]Slow-mo to work.

[00:02:33]Got it over the front rim for two. By the way those are the kind of attack lanes that Ryan Dunn has got to take advantage of as Jalen able to slip behind the Suns defender Jalen Green and 10 to shoot. Trying to feed it to Naz. Got kicked around back to Kyle.

[00:02:51]Back to Naz. Now it is turned over.

[00:02:54]Here comes Phoenix on the move. Fleming to the rim. Oh, got it knocked away by Kyle Anderson.

[00:03:01]Chicken sandwich.

[00:03:03]Maybe it's green chicken. Kidding me on St. Patty's Day.

[00:03:06]Here's Slow-mo on the drive with the finish.

[00:03:11]Layup is good. Got it off over T.J.

[00:03:13]Shannon.

[00:03:16]Seven-point Wolves lead. 35 seconds left to go in the first. Oh, Kyle Anderson.

[00:03:20]What a feed to Dosunmu.

[00:03:24]And he comes up at the high screen and slips it.

[00:03:28]Kyle to Dosunmu.

[00:03:30]Kyle got airborne. Out to Anderson. AT THE BUZZER! COUNT IT!

[00:03:36]A three for Slow-mo.

[00:03:41]His first in this stint with the Timberwolves.

[00:03:45]And he puts the Wolves up by 26 as we make the turn for home. He was angry, that's for sure. That's how Jaden's been playing here in the second half.

[00:03:54]Slow mo, yes!

[00:03:58]How about that nifty finish? 12, very low-scoring first quarter.

[00:04:03]Oh my god.

[00:04:05]He put me in the matrix over here. He was slow mo the whole time.

[00:04:08]>> I almost fell asleep on that move.

[00:04:10]That's like going to going to YouTube to watch and you go to half speed and watch the crossover mixtape. Bam Adebayo's 83-point game a couple weeks ago. I heard you were calling on the Pistons game. I am. I'll be calling play-by-play. Turnover here, it's two on one to the basket. Kyle Lowry with the finish by Anderson. And Minnesota back on top.

[00:04:30]He wanted that one.

[00:04:32]Anderson right at Pritchard. Fans want a walk. McDaniels wants three. Slow mo plays so slow, even when he makes the wrong decision, it's the right one.

[00:04:41]Got to hunt the three here.

[00:04:42]Randle to the cup, no. Kyle Anderson putback gets the opportunity for a three-point play the old-fashioned way.

[00:04:49]So no baskets for Minnesota in the last 5 minutes and they trail by 13 here at home.

[00:04:55]Anderson driving. Nice feed. Gobert with the slam. Randle spinning got deep on him.

[00:05:02]Lost the handle. Shot clock at three, game clock at eight. Kyle Anderson in the lane with one. Gets it away in time and he scores.

[00:05:12]Embiid rejects the screen, drives in, missed the shot. Good contest by Biyombo.

[00:05:17]Shannon to the cup. The driving layup is good. It's the coaching staff, it's the front office, it's the drafting of Anthony Edwards, it's all the pieces that are in place.

[00:05:26]>> for sure the players. And you know, but cuz you need players to win, but Payton feeds it TO GREEN. OH, DANTE BLOCKS THE SHOT. KYLE BLOCKS THE SHOT. Unbelievable rim protection. He's really good at staying in front of people and and staying in touch to them when they put the ball on the floor.

[00:05:45]Here's LaVert. Oh, got a shot blocked by Kyle Anderson out of bounds to go along with 16 points for Naz Reid.

[00:05:53]Slow mo into the PAINT TO A CUTTING RANDALL TO THE CUP AND HE'LL SOFTLY slam it through for two.

[00:05:59]The Bulls are up to 32% shooting now.

[00:06:03]Slow mo goes to work. Anunoby, counted for two.

[00:06:07]That Bulls highly rated injecting some speed into the lineup.

[00:06:11]Kyle Anderson, oh what a pass to Naz Reid, the layup good.

[00:06:19]Kyle Anderson, what a feed to Randall.

[00:06:21]Great time cut by Julius. It certainly was. It's exactly right too. Kyle came who was trying to hand it off to DiVincenzo.

[00:06:28]It's such an inexact science talent evaluation. Man, how about all the guys that were undrafted? Rudy to the cup, able to thunder slam it through.

[00:06:39]That's Dosunmu.

[00:06:42]Kick out pass read perfectly by Kyle Anderson. They head ahead to Bones.

[00:06:46]He'll drop IT BACK. HERE'S NAZ TO THE RIM.

[00:06:49]Counted for two.

[00:06:52]Fake left, come right.

[00:06:55]Slow mo to work.

[00:06:56]Spin, up off glass, counted for two.

[00:07:03]Feelings about Obi Toppin, the way that he destroyed Minnesota last year at Target Center. The shooting display that he put on unbelievable. Kyle Anderson scores.

[00:07:15]De Silva no on the three.

[00:07:18]And a rebound finally comes down.

[00:07:20]Banton-Jackson collects. The Magic have their largest lead of the night.

[00:07:24]Slow mo to work on the jump hook, silky smooth.

[00:07:28]Kyle Anderson getting his first start.

[00:07:32]Kyle Anderson to the free throw line.

[00:07:34]They're going to give him that jumper.

[00:07:35]He'll take it, make it.

[00:07:38]He'll get his second start of the the Can they go inside the arc knock down shots, and he did that at a 50% clip, too.

[00:07:46]Ayo Dosunmu into the game for the first time. Here's Kyle Anderson. Fades at the elbow, hits it, and he drew a foul. He's only got four triple-doubles this year.

[00:07:55]Jokic has a significant more. Yes, total. Bulls have numbers here after forcing another turnover. Mike on the wing.

[00:08:03]Got it.

[00:08:05]Within 10.

[00:08:07]It's hurt away. Working on that high screen to the Jokic. Turnover by the Nuggets. Down court to Dosunmu. Aim, shoot. Way off, out of bounds.

[00:08:16]Ricochets. They should drive the ball.

[00:08:19]They're just They're just settling. It's just more threes. Highland. A three. I don't mind if he shoots them, though.

[00:08:25]Yeah, there's a few guys that can, but in the first two periods.

[00:08:30]Nuggets by six. Highland got the trey.

[00:08:34]Hey, man, you know how tough that is?

[00:08:36]He's [laughter] been sitting down for about a cool 45 minutes.

[00:08:42]Murray.

[00:08:44]Around a Jokic screen. Pass deflected, stolen. Dosunmu, three on one. Highland with the finish. This is why they brought Valanciunas in. Six straight points.

[00:08:56]Lob it up. McDaniels guides the rest home.

[00:09:01]And David Adelman's going to call a timeout.

[00:09:05]12-3 Denver run.

[00:09:08]Inside, Gobert. His first points of the night and a chance for a three-point play. And their illustrious history, have they won a playoff game by 40 or more? That was back in 1983.

[00:09:22]They beat Denver by 40.

[00:09:26]Played a lot of minutes. McDaniels only played 20 cuz he got in foul trouble.

[00:09:30]Edwards played 24, Reed 21. Barely J puts it in. But they didn't get any of that against San Antonio. San Antonio able to take care of the ball against them, and if that happens, This is ahead of schedule for San Antonio. I I honestly, going into the season, and I think if you could get them to be real honest, the San Antonio people would tell you the same thing.
