Ayo Dosunmu scores 26 in Wolves’ win: ‘Live in the moment’

Jim, thank you very much. Timberwolves win it 115-100. With me now, Io DeSumo. Io, you guys were able to pull away in that second half. What did you notice about your team and their ability to really pull away in that second half? Just continuing to be resilient. Living a moment, just taking advantage of our subconscious mind, my subconscious mind, not taking no moment for granted, enjoying everything about it. And then we understand that's a 48-minute game, and they record, make sure they're more than eight, but that's a good ball team, ball club, and in the NBA, each and every game is meaningful, and it's the best players in the world. So we just want to turn it up a notch in the second half. You had a 26.9. You led the team in scoring. How were you able to be so efficient tonight against the Jazz? Just being aggressive, you know, trying to find ways to impact the game. You know, I got in foul trouble, but I always live next play mentality, not to let the last play. We'll So that's just my mindset, you know, just being aggressive, not just for myself, but for my teammates, always looking to attack, facilitate, see and do whatever it takes to, you know, generate a great shot. you Since you stepped into the starting lineup with Anthony being injured, how do you and LaMelo really play off each other? next It seems like you play off each other very well. Yeah, you know, LaMelo, his playing style and our playing style, it really meshes well together. time. You know, he likes to push the pace, and he can also shoot the ball from deep, so I just try to give him... You know, I'll let, you know, someone can go out there and, you know, create and just take a load off of him sometimes. And he's doing a great job. You know, I played with his brother about, you know, five years ago. So the connection is already there, and we want to win. So we have to have fun, do whatever it takes to win. They call you and Bones the Twin Turbos, but is there going to be a new nickname here between you and LaMelo coming up? Yeah, you got to make it, though. I don't know. I have to make it? Somebody got to make it. I don't know if it will be up to me, but I'm sure somebody will come with something out there. Lastly for you. Four wins in a row now for you guys. What is meshing and clicking well with this team right now? We understand the opportunity that we have, and we understand the importance of each and every game. So we're just going out there trying to collect wins and keep stacking, having fun. We have a pretty connected, tight-knit jail group, so we're just out there competing, doing whatever it takes to get a win, having joy in doing so, and taking it one game at a time. I think one thing that's very important in the NBA season is Enjoying each and every step. You know, enjoying the shoot-arounds, enjoying the pre-game routines, enjoying the lifts, enjoying the game after the interviews, all of that. Being in the moment, not looking behind, not looking too far ahead, but actually, you know, living in the moment. And that's how we're feeling right now. So we got to just keep doing it, you know, one game at a time. And it's a great win. You know, we celebrate tonight and then get ready for Dallas. Ayo, we appreciate the time. Congrats on the win. Thank you. Ayo D'Souma, everybody. All right, the Wolves go on to win it 115-100. They'll be back in action. This Thursday against Dallas, Jim.
