The Wolves have some truly abhorrent clutch time stats this year (perhaps the worst in the league) despite playing the most clutch games. Here are some numbers:

We have played 25 clutch games - top of the league by a good margin. Some of our stats:

Offensive rating of 95.9 - only the Wizards are worse, the team with thee worst record in the league.

A net rating of -16.2 - only the Jazz and Raptors are lower, two teams also in Flagg contention (the Wizards are better than us here.)

A 0.76 assist/to ratio in the clutch, worst in the league - you read that right. We have more turnovers than assists in clutch minutes.

A TS% of 51%, 3rd worst in the league.

Our shooting splits are 39/25/72 - not ideal.

Randle is shooting 41%.

Ant is shooting 41%.

Donte is shooting 20%.

Rudy is shooting 50%. (55% in clutch free throws, which he sees often)

Jaden is an encouraging 47%.

Naz 25%.

And NAW is shooting a beautiful 57% when he gets to play.

And a major reason why these stats look so bad is the complete and utter lack of offensive gameplan to close games. Half the time we don't even have a point guard out there handling the ball - Ant or Julius take turns hitting an iso. A couple times this season that has resulted in fun game winners - the majority of the time, it's resulted in horrible turnovers or clanking threes.

I don't know why Finch won't step in and stop the poor decision making by our two main scorers. I don't know why Conley isn't holding the ball at any point at the end of games. And I don't know why we seem to never score after a timeout (and I genuinely mean never - would love to see a stat of this.)
