Brandon had the ball and tried a mid-range shot and scored 2 more points for the Minnesota Timberwolves team, Jake still tried to hinder Brandon in that play and he couldn't, Brandon was playing well in that game and Jake knew he had to press more on defense.
Jake had managed to make a steal in the first quarter by taking Brandon's ball and so Brandon was only trying mid-range shots, but now Jake realized that maybe he would have to press even harder on defense.
In this balanced game, coach Rambis decided not to replace the main players, the players were not so tired because they were having 1 day of rest between games, in addition, coach Rambis knew that the opponent players were also tired.
